I have a meyers lemon that has one good size fruit on it and has been there for a few months. It is still green, any ideas? I know nothing of lemons, just how to make lemonade, southern style.
Lemons take forever to ripen and turn from green to yellow. Most lemons you buy are picked and shipped while still green.
I’d say just keep on watering and feeding. I keep my lemon tree kinda root bound, and trim it back periodically so that it will continue to fit in the space that I have to grow it. I was thinking that maybe it thinks it’s dying and is desperate to reproduce.
Otherwise, there is no reason for it to bloom so prolifically. LOL
Since it rained nearly every day, nothing was happening outside except for Prissy who would charge out between rains to chase squirrels. Took her to the groomer this morning. She is so close to the ground when she goes into the garden, she gets small twigs and leaves stuck in her leg fur and it’s a chore to get it out of the hair, plus she would also get wet even though it wasn’t raining at that time.
I had four inches in the rain gauge, then got two more, then dumped it, and have two inches in it now from the past day.
By the way, I only got 2 measly lemons the first year, but have had loads since then. I have to pick off lots of the beginning fruits, because I know that the tree couldn’t possibly grow that many.
