Hello this is a is a Meyer lemon tree I just got. I want to use it for bonsai but it was a little taller than I wanted so I cut it back. I was wondering if any one had any tips on what care I should give it now? Like shout I leave the fruit on or take it off to focus energy on new growth also should this plant be kept indoors under florecent lights or outside?

Looks good!
As to general care:
Since it is listed as a patio type you can place it outdoors for the warmer months.
Then inside in a sunny window in the colder months.
Remember: whatever you remove from the top of the plant you will need to remove from the root system! Root pruning will be required to help keep the plant the size you would like!
