This little dwarf meyer lemon is amazing. It's so small and grows so well. I've been thinking if it would be possible to cross breed it with something. I wonder how big the offspring would get. The dwarf lemon only seems to grow about 2 or 3 feet tall.

I was thinking about trying to get some small variety of grapefruit or something and trying to cross breed it. Don't know where I would get the pollen or how that would work. I can't find any natural dwarf grapefruit to grow in a container anyway so that would be interesting (though like maybe a naturally 12foot variety would be good to cross). I also have a dwarf tangerine that only grows about 6-8 feet and is more like bush so that would be an interesting cross. Yet I haven't gotten any flowers on it yet.

Being a sweet lemon I think it would cross well with other varieties like a red grapefruit or orange and probably wouldn't be too bitter. It would be interested in seeing if I could get that dwarf size and a different kind of fruit as well. As far as I know the dwarf meyer lemon is the only natural dwarf citrus that is that small. The next smallest thing I could find is my tangerine which is 6 foot at least. If only I had some pollen!! I don't want to have to grow a whole tree just for its pollen lol
