too many lemons on tree

Question

My tree is new and tiny and getting so many lemons I know it can’t support them all. How many should I allow to mature?

Answer 1

As the tree blooms you can take off as many blooms as needed to keep the branches from breaking as the lemons mature. I have had to do this with a peach tree.

Answer 2

Your lemon tree will go through a natural thinning process on its own without any intervention on your part. I foresee many of those lemons dropping on their own accord. As your tree matures it will be able to hold onto more fruit on its branches in the future.
