I took a bunch of photos of the lemons on my Meyer lemon tree just now. Its still blooming and setting fruit. But today's lemon count was a little lower than my last one - 26 instead of 33. Maybe a few have dropped off, but its hard to count them, so the difference may be just my counting.

Too cute!
Hi Kathy, the Meyer lemon tree naturally sheds excess fruit it cannot handle. I remember getting clusters of 6 - 10 baby lemons but unusually the number drops down to 2 - 3 per cluster as they grow.
Last year, I got 9 HUGE lemons from my potted tree. I ended up canning about 16 half-pint jars of marmalade. This year, I think I'll get about 12 - 15 medium sized lemons.
I have one cluster of 3, which is very pretty. The rest are single lemons. The tree looks healthier than it ever has right now. I hope to have enough for marmalade some day!
