Diana, it's so funny you say that about the shapes of lemon plants!! I am coming off my first winter with a few different lemons and limes (I have to say coming off still because winter here is still trying to hold on, although I think this week we will finally turn the corner!).

Anyway, I very much love the topiary look on trees, and it is just not what is happening with my bunch. Especially with my dwarf variegated pink lemon, he is gangly, gangly, gangly. It is driving me insane!! He really didn't like coming indoors and dropped most of his leaves on the lower branches. He did manage to continue thriving on 2 branches, which have become extremely long/tall, about as tall as the rest of the tree. It is driving me insane!! I want him to be more "full" and "round," and I am seriously thinking about pruning the tops of these 2 branches back down to the rest of the tree. I just don't want to mess him up too bad. What do you think? Thanks!!
