Granny I'm working to cut my sugar down. A friend of mine had to cut hers off and when she did the inflammation caused by arthritis was greatly reduced. I've had 2 glasses of fake mountain dew in the last 3 weeks. Only one of my coffee creamers has sugar in it. 2 don't. I can use the one that does one day a week and the others 3 days a week each. I no longer need the caffeine from Mountain Dew because I can drink coffee in the cooler weather that is her now. Maybe I will be able to drink coffee even in the summer now too. At least in the morning. We need to learn how to make pudding using Truvia or stevia or Splenda. That's our go to dish to go with meds at night.

That's what I need to do, switch to the sugar free version of my creamer. I could probably make a few other changes as well. DH drinks chocolate milk at bed time. I usually don't drink anything, but tonight that sounded tempting. But I opted for buttermilk instead. It was good!

If not pruned back it can get up to 10-12 feet high depending on the variety. If grown from seed instead of a budded tree it can get much taller. You can let the tree get to the height you want it and keep it trimmed to that height . 6-7 feet is possible I think. Meyer lemon is a good one.

I believe I have room for that. I would probably need to start from seed

My Sis-in-law has a dwarf one that's over 20 years old. It lives in a tub in the house in the winter, outside all summer. They built a ramp to their house so they can move it in and out, it's on wheels. It's about six feet tall, all told and maybe 4 wide. Maybe a little less, as it goes through the door okay. Maybe they have to squinch it a bit. It gives big ol' lemons, though.

Edit: big, not bog

I look for the word Sucralose on the list of ingredients. I avoid the other non sugar sweeteners.

Ive never drank buttermilk. Probably never will but I have cooked with it a time or 2

If you start from seed you will not know what kind of lemon you will get. It can be really good or not as good as the one that the seed came from. Only a tree that uses a bud from the variety of tree you want will grow true fruit.

Larry, how is a Meyer lemon different?
