Hi,
I had bought a Meyer lemon plant from Bunnings about 2 years back; it has currently grown to how it appears in the attached pictures. The branch indicated by the green arrow is the original branch when i had bought & planted it; however, the pink arrow is a branch that has grown over the period of this time and appears to show the following characteristics slightly different from the original branch - a) it seems to be growing more vigorously than the green arrow one, b) it has large thorns and the colour of the stem looks a bit more green than the original one, c) it has not produced any flower or fruit till now (btw, we got a few lemons, like 3 fruits, from the original branch last year; however, no fruit this year, although there were few flowers from the original branch ie. green arrow).
Could you please help me identify if this is a rootstock sucker (i have included a closer picture of the graft zone as well)? And, if so, what is the next step for me and when is it recommended to be taken?
