    I have a small area in full sun in the front of my home that I would like to try a Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree. I can't find anyone who can tell me about the roots of a citrus tree though. Do they go deep or do they travel near the surface? Can the roots push up concrete? How tall can a Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree grow? I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

    All citrus roots are mostly shallow, with a few that go fairly deep. Never seen a dwarf citrus push up any sidewalks Dwarf Meyers are about 13-15 feet tall when fully mature - Millet
