Q.Best Way To Shorten A Meyer Lemon?
Bought one but it is 3′ tall & the catalog shows a 2′ well branched bush. I’m afraid it will die if I just cut it at 1′, can I graft it there (own stock) and prune the main trunk when the graft shows growth?

Lemon trees do not need much pruning. You can remove any dead, damaged, or broken stems at any time. These articles should help:
