I have been getting lemons from my friend Sharlene all year, and she has been very generous (luckily her tree is big and produces a lot of fruit). But a few months ago, it started to seem increasingly ridiculous, so we got a dwarf Meyer lemon tree. It lives in our courtyard in a pot. Last month, it produced a huge number of flowers, given it's small size. Those flowers were visited by numerous bees and at least one hummingbird. Too bad I wasn't documenting our fauna back then. It is currently growing numerous small lemons. I doubt any from this season will grow enough to harvest (though I may be wrong since I've never had a "dwarf" fruit tree before), but it's nice to know we have awesome pollination.
