Well, both cultivars tend to be very heavy and prolific producers, so a little thinning is helpful. I also tend to fertilize both my Meyer and my Bearss lime a little more heavily than the rest of my citrus for that reason. And will the blooming stop? Yes, to some degree, but both usually continue to bloom nearly year 'round. Especially the Meyer lemon.

In the first year, for a tree that size I would not leave more than 6 or 7 lemons spaced around the tree; if you leave more than that, the tree will "forget" to grow.
