Questions about future Meyer lemon tree.

Hi All,

I am interested in raising a Meyer lemon tree in a container. I am in zone 7A (SE PA). I have a few questions and I keep reading old threads and there is so much info it's hard to take it all in.

1. Should I repot right away? If I get the plant April/May and it is in standard soil should I repot. I know that drainage is a huge issue and I don't want to drown this thing right off the bat.

2. Sun. I can sit the tree on the deck with no coverage and let it have full sun all day or it can sit just under an awning and have a bit of coverage midday.

3. Dwarf variety or no? Is there a huge difference beyond size? Can I prune a regular tree and keep it smaller(without harming it)?


I'm sure I'll have more....ty!!!
