Lemon tree

Question

My tree had many blossoms. After they dropped I watched as the little lemon buds appeared. I had many buds. They were about 1/4” in one night all but maybe a half dozen were gone. What could have eaten them.
Thanks for any help

Answer 1

It may be that they dropped rather than were eaten. Some fruit drop is natural. It also can be caused by insects. Here is more information that may help:
