Yes and more sparsely branched, about 1/2 to 9/16" caliper stem. This is 
white flowering. There is significant growth habit between the yellow 
and the white. The yellow may be considered the preferred variety but I 
like having both.

I'll have to take a pic of my Meyer lemon so you can see all the fruit 
buds, just like last year about 100 lemons this time. Pruning is 
everything for that plant, to get it to flower on strong branches.

I just bought two heavy, potted Celeste figs from Whole Foods for $20 
each, a bargain; and they are fruiting.
