This is our new Meyer Lemon tree, just planted a few months ago. There are several tiny ( pea sized) fruits already, but some are actually turning yellow at this size, leading me to wonder what exactly is going on.

I assumed there would be no fruit until it got significantly larger. Since these fruits seem to be ripening at this size, would it be beneficial for me to just snip them off, in the hopes of forcing the tree to put more energy into growth rather than fruit?

Is it beneficial to leave them alone and let the tree do its thing on its own?

Or am I paying too much attention and overthinking this, and need to just ignore it for a couple of years?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

This is my new Owari Satsuma. I've read that you shouldn't allow "water shoots", or new growth that comes below the graft line. Can anyone tell if these are desirable new growth, or just water shoots to be pruned? There is a weird bulge right above them, but I can't tell if that's the graft site or just a tree being organic. Can anyone help?
