Hi Beck. The miniature lemon that i have is a Meyer lemon. This was a Lotsa Lemons tag. I think it costs more because of growing royalties. Daleys will have the dwarf Meyer lemon and cheaper than what I paid. It has the typical smooth skin of a Meyer lemon and the fruit varies in size from 5cm to 7cm. Ideal for juicing. The first time it flowered i pulled all the flowers off. It got heaps of fruit on it the second time it fruited for me, to the point that I had to prop up the branches to stop them from splitting from the main trunk. Next time ( which is starting to flower again now) I will thin out the fruit and not be so greedy wanting such a big yield. I'll let the tree do a bit more growing. They looked more like bunches of grapes on a vine rather than citrus on a tree. Mine is in its second season for me (just starting its third)and stands approx 4ft high and between 3ft and 4ft wide. Hope this helps. Regards Jan.
