Where to buy dwarf lemon tree?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Got a Meyer lemon tree from Home Depot a few years ago. It's been slow to grow (probably due to not enough sun) but it's still alive and developing more lemons. The first year, I only had two mature lemons but right now, I have about 5 or 6 good-sized ones so far.
 
We also have a meyer lemon tree, it's more like a meyer lemon bush. It's pretty tiny about 3-4 feet tall max, but produces over 12-18 gigantic lemons. Not sure how it supports it all but we've made several batches of lemonade. Very sweet and tangy, but not as sour as regular lemon.
 
Bubblegum, my Meyer is pretty small, too. Do you feed yours and if so, what do you use? I think mine could use some assistance.
 
Anon. It's been doing well even though we neglect it. Other than sun and water and the occasional fertilizer that our gardener puts down maybe once a year, we haven't done anything special. However, it does get a lot of sun during the morning and early afternoon. Our landscaper planted them per our request, along with kaffir lime, and some kind of peach tree.

purchased one from Armstrong Garden Center not too long ago
 
Laguna Hills Nursery offers excellent citrus trees. You should probably call ahead to make sure they have them in stock. The staff there are very knowedgeable and helpful, unlike the gits at HD.

Yup, most of them are pretty useless, but there might be a few here and there that actually know about plants. It helps if you know your stuff when you go there, since most of the clerks only know how to run the register (and sometimes I wonder about that).
 
Gee, I was wondering why my lemon tree wasn't growing as tall as the

other citrus, and was more bush-like, and maybe it was a dwarf tree

and I didn't know it. It's 7 feet or more in diameter, but only 4-5

feet tall, and produces loads of ginormous lemons, that are incredibly

juicy, and eventually turn orangish, if you leave them on long enough.
