Typically how many years does it take for in ground Meyers lemons to fruit? I have one I planted 2 years ago in ground in on the 9a/8b line in Louisiana 2 years ago. Last year it had 2 lemons on it that made it to harvest, this year it has none. It is currently about 4.5 ft tall and 18-20 inches wide, and is growing much slower than the 3 Satsuma's I planted at the same time, which are both taller and bushier. The Meyer's is grafted onto unknown root stock.
