Hrm. Mine is still a baby tree too. Maybe not trim, but definitely stake it up so it grows up straight and strong.
I can't wait until mine starts giving me free lemons!

If it a small tree with a whole lot of flowers it's a good idea to trim some out so that it doesn't exhaust itself by over producing. You can often get larger fruits by reducing overall yield. It's more important with little trees though, like 1-4 years old 1 to 3 feet tall and recent transplants.
