Meyer Lemons Stopped Growing

Q: I have twenty-five Meyer lemons on my tree but they have stopped growing. They have been the same size for several weeks. Am I just impatient?
A: I think some of your fruit should be removed (thinned) so the tree can concentrate on those lemons that remain. The recommended ratio is forty leaves per fruit. Do a quick enumeration and act accordingly.
