Have fun - mine has suffered the most appalling insults in the 20-odd years I've had it, and is still alive. When I'm nice to it it blooms and fruits, at about 20 inches tall! (Yes, it's the dwarf Meyer strain.)

I've also got Rangpur "lime", raised from seed from my cousin's tree, and it is both taller and more reluctant to fruit. However, it has matured two fruits, enough to tell me it did come true (as many citrus will). The big problem there is the thorns - I have to go through and prune off the 1" thorns so it's safe for two humans and 4 cats during the winter (when both citrus live cramped lives in the kitchen).
