Meyer lemon isn't sweet. Also, I never found it to have a true lemon flavor.
I live in Italy and I hope to find this variety ..... when is small fruit well hence needs a prune every year for stay small?Mark the link which you posted is wonderful .... there are many hybridsfor example with grapefruit there is thisFrost Marsh grapefruitCitrus paradisi Macfadyenbut are only in Usa these varieties?
I will check in Europe where is possible to buy hybrid of citrussince that it's small is possible also to create an hedge with more citrus (also different varietis) (like pitosporum for know what I want to tell)from seeds how many years need to give fruits? and by graft only one season really?

But we also have a lot of cultivar unavailable for people in usa. Take a look here:http://www.oscartintori.it/indice.pdfIt is from tuscany.And they should ship. Moreover, they have also plants not listed in that catalog.If you search around you can found a lot of things (expecially search nursery in siciliy, france, spain, and cezch republic).
Good grief, that nursery is incredible....what choices! Another "must have" is Moro blood orange. Being italian that one should be real easy to find.Speaking of blood orange my wife ordered a margarita while we dined at a famous Mexican food restaurant in San Antonio yesterday. It was delicious and consisted of a salted rim glass with Blood orange soda, lime juice, tequila, agave nectar topped off with a maraschino cherry. I found the blood orange soda yesterday in a liquor store and it was the Perregrino brand from Italy!
For a Blood orange, you may want to also consider Smith Red Valencia. It is supposed to be an actual Valencia but with the red pigmentation. Some nurseries are starting to carry it. Simon
