Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy pot-grown lemon tree (variety unknown)has produced abundant flowers some of which have set fruit. After a while the majority of the fruits drop off and during the past couple of years only two fruit have reached maturity i.e the size which appropriately complements a gin and tonic!.
The plant is kept indoors during the winter and on a balcony in full sunlight during the summer. The tree is watered when the soil at the top of the pot dries out; clay granules in the bottom of the outer pot are kept moist at all times.
Feeding with a proprietary fertiliser (at the recommended strength) is done monthly.
Any light you can shed on this problem would be most appreciated.
