When I was in Italy a few months back the wife fell in love with some miniature lemon trees. We'd like to get some for some pots. anyone know who might carry these things?

I have 5 miniature Limes. The first two I picked up late in season at Home Depot. Surprisingly they did well and produced fruit. I thought I lost them last winter so I bought three new ones from a catalog. I think they came from a nursery in virginia so no help to you if you cant import them.
Just last week I saw that my original two had produced sprouts from the root balls. So now I have those as well growing again.

Anything growing below the graft line will not produce what you are looking for, as the root stock is a totally different plant. The citrus tree dies, but the root stock often survives because it is more cold hardy. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
For the OP, Meyer Lemon is the way to go. You can find them at nurseries, Lowe's, craigslist, all over. If you are in S. LA, you should have great success with Satsumas as well. Owari Satsuma is the way to go. This pdf from LSU Ag is great info.
