@Lovetoplant,
It's ~8ft tall, after ~5-7 years. I don't think she was pampering it; so, it may be small compared to others for its age. She bought it as a small seedling at a Hawaiian festival, she believes, in Lawndale or in the Southbay area.
@MikeT
Thanks for the info. I think she wants to trim it back; so, it's good to hear it can be kept in check.
My sister said that she tasted fruit from a friend's wampee. She recalls that the fruit was much smaller and more sour than the current fruit from my sister's tree. That's why my sister didn't recognize her tree as a wampee. So, there seems to be variability in fruit size and sweetness/sourness. My sister was lucky in getting her seedling.
