Size of pot for new Meyer Lemon?

Hi everyone!

I purchased a meyer lemon tree on a whim at the nursery today. I probably really should have waited and ordered one from 4 winds, but it's already home with me!

I've spent some time this afternoon looking over these forums and doing interwebs research in general. My tree will be a patio tree that comes inside in the winter (I'm in an apartment in Kansas City, MO).

I know that I need to make / find some good soil and that I need fertilizer. Any suggestions on what size pot I should be looking at? For reference, the Record Buck pot it came in is 10" diameter and about 9" tall. I think that this tree is a 2-3 year old cutting based on the size and the fact that I can't find an obvious graft scar. Oddly, though, it did branch rather low compared to the other pics that I've seen here. It's about 36" on the tallest branch and a little more than two feet wide.

Any and all other suggestions are also appreciated!
