Q.Lemon Trees From Seeds

I have 3-healthy Myers Lemon trees grown from seeds. I’m told they must be grafted to bear fruit. Where and how can I get them grafted?

From what I've read it can be difficult to buy a small amount of rootstalk. Rootstalk is usually sold to growers in large amounts. You can call your local extension service and see if they know of a place nearby where you can purchase a rootstalk for a dwarf lemon.

Lemon trees grown from seed may or may not produce fruit and it can take several years to find out. Grafted trees fruit in two years.
Here is the information we have on grafting:
