Default lemon tree fruit

Another question.
It is in a 12" pot. The label says 24" pot which is too big to bring
into the house in winter. Is it OK to leave in the smaller pot?
Thanks in anticipation.

Eventually it will need a large pot but if it's only small and doesn't look
under-potted then it should be OK for a couple of years. We have ours
outside normally by the end of this month against a S. facing wall but watch
the forecasts and take them back inside if frost is due. It's amazing how
quickly they start growing away once outside with a good dose of sequestered
iron and feed.

BTW an older tree will usually have flowers and fruit at all stages of
growth all at the same time.
