This Meyer is actually the first one we ever had, grown from an seed sprouting from our neighbor's Meyer. It's about 12-14 yrs old now, and as you can see from the slightly off-beat shape, Improved Meyers really are bushes, not trees. My husband accidentally cut half the plant down to the ground about 7 yrs ago, and it's had this strange shape ever since! Interesting enough, it grows in complete clay, gets hardly any sun (mostly bright shade), but still gives us about 125-150 lbs of lemons every year.
