Question

My dwarf meyer lemon has produced approx. 20 lemons I have thinned some off, and some have fallen off on their on. the remaining are healthy and growing larger. How do I treat the ends where the fruit have fallen? Thank you

Answer 1

I wouldn't prune until after the remaining fruit ripens. Lemons will normally produce many more fruits than they can bear, and drop quite a few.
