My Meyer lemon tree is now over 25 years old. It currently produces 50 or more lemons over a bloom of a month or two, a few times a year. Some of the lemons are huge, the size of Valencia oranges. They are sweet and delicious. When I moved into this house in 1996 the tree was already in, pretty small and producing only a few lemons. Citrus should not be overwatered. I have grapefruit, orange, guava and avocado as well as the lemon tree. They are at the edge of my lawn, not in the grassed area and I water them much less than the grass. My gardener came from Mexico (legally) and he has taught me a little about how to care for citrus.
It is a lot of fun to enjoy eating fruit you grow yourself as well as gifting much if not most of it to friends. Give your tree two to five years to really start bearing lemons.
