Lime Tree Fruit

Question

Do I need more than one lime tree to have fruit? I have one 3-year-old lime tree that is about 9 ft tall, with very green sturdy shoots and very hard thorns but no buds and no fruit ever. I’m in central Texas and it has lots of afternoon sun and I think I’m watering it as directed on this site.

Answer 1

No, you do not need another tree for fruit production to occur. Several factors can lead to lack of buds or fruit. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/reasons-and-fixes-for-lime-tree-not-producing-blossoms-or-fruit.htm
