Producer of citrus fruit in Lima having one meter broken (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

lemon tree

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'producer of citrus fruit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'lima having one meter broken' is the wordplay.
'lima' becomes 'L' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'meter'='onemeter'
'onemeter' is an anagram of 'emontree'.
'l'+'emontree'='LEMON TREE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lemon tree that I've seen is " Variety of citrus".)
