Title: Lemon tree I need some help
Post by: hayes on April 30, 2017, 16:57:18 PM
We planted our lemon tree two years ago, first year no lemons, this
year flowers then small lemons, then they turned black
and fell off.  What should we do?

Hi, lemons can take several years before they produce good lemons. You can feed them with a citrus feed obtainable in either pellet or liquid form. Basically you have to have patience. Mine took five years.

We save the ash from the wood burning stove over the winter and dig it into the soil around the base of the tree. Always get big fat juicy lemons.
