"Tiny lemons have formed, but lemon tree is badly in need of transplant I am sure."

Is the lemon tree indoors?

Here's some how-to info that might interest some.

Passive Solar Greenhouse at the Bradford Research Center, University of Missouri

It's a year-round greenhouse for those with a climate like that of Missouri.

Thanks for the link. I’ll be sure to check it out. We have been saving to get a solar room/green house that would be sort of a lean to against the house where the patio door of our walk-out basement is.

The lemon tree is indoors. I keep it small with pruning and cramping it in the pot. However, it is past time to move it up a notch, or it’s going to get root bound. It produces about 16 lemons per year, in two batches. The fragrance of the blooms is worth the effort - lemons are the plus.
