I have a dwarfed lemon tree in my living room I grew from seed. It has yet to bare fruit (3 years) I don't know if ever will.

Do they exist yes, will they grow fruit maybe.

To my understanding fruit trees grown from seeds from actual fruit can be tricky these days as the base of the plant is often a splice of a hardier species. Sometimes they can;t grow fruit or grow entirely different fruit from the fruit you took the seed.

A quick google helps. They do grow fruit sometime after 2-3 years of age. (Woo maybe mine will make some soon?)

Yes there exists . Technically its called bonsai. If that particular location is suitable for lemon trees ,
Bonsai lemon trees can yield edible fruits too .
