Lemon Tree question/problem
« on: July 08, 2011, 15:58 »
Hey all,

My lemon tree seems/ed to be doing great in the GH and has started fruiting this year.

However it has about 50-70 tiny lemons starting to grow on it and I worry that this is too much for it. any surgestions???

Also, the 2nd biggest fruit turned yellow and fell off a couple of days ago (i managed to get a pic jsut before). You can see the largest fruit on the tree behind it, and that is doing really well and seems to be growing A LOT faster than the others.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Alex

Many of the tiny lemons will drop off if they are not fertile so I wouln't worry about there being too many, this is probably what happened to the one that fell off. Fertility can be a problem with citrus grown indoors and using a tiny paintbrush to transfer the pollen round the flowers can help.

Would just leave it to its own devices at the present time and see how they develop.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
