There are dwarf citrus in this house, being raised as house pets.

The dwarf Meyer lemon was completely covered with delicious smelling blooms and is now covered with dozens of baby lemons. The tree is perhaps 18 inches tall and quite slim. How many lemons should this little tree be allowed to keep?

My son says he is going to hang strings from the ceiling and support the lemons in slings. I'm not sure whether he is joking or not.

I have never grown citrus, but it seem that if you want any size to the fruit, they should be thinned the same as any other tree fruit - one approximately every six to eight inches along the branches.
