I have a Meyer lemon tree planted in a large pot that I bring in, Northern Indiana, on the south porch in the winter. This is it's second year on the porch and it is sporting ONE LEMON which is turning yellow.

Does anyone know when to pick them?? Also some leaves are turning yellow, should I fertilize??

The lime tree did not set any fruit this year.

I’ve read that iron chelate(?) might help with the yellowing leaves. I’m sure the internet might be more helpful, I might be mis-remembering.

I usually pick my Meyer Lemons when they’re all the way yellow. I’ve had them keep on my counter for up to a month. But we keep our house really cool in the winter.

Sounds like it could be iron deficiency. Here is an article on fertilizers and growing citrus trees Citrus Fertilizer Recommendations.
