I have some seeds from a store bought organic Myers lemons. Will they produce lemons if planted
Yes, many citrus are true to seed. It may not have the same quality of the fruit that it came from, but it will come out similar to the parent.

They need full sun to thrive if you can provide it. You may need some fluorescent lights to help. Here is more:

Please tell me if I have done it at right time
Generally, the best times to plant a lemon will be during the mildest parts of the year. Anytime that it is hot or cold will not be good.

My lemon tree is nearing a year old now. I have it in a 5 gallon water bottle for now and it is growing well. I was wondering if you could look at my photo and tell me if it looks as healthy as it should and if I should make any changes. It currently gets sun for at least 10-12 hours in its current location but will have to be brought indoors when it starts getting cold. Any advise to keeping it growing good would be appreciated. PS I'm not sure what type of lemon tree it is as my dad started it from a lemon seed. It has as grown to 36" now since the photo was taken.
It looks pretty good but here are my observations. Make sure there are holes in the bottom and lower sides of the container so the soil will be well drained. Pruning will help it to branch out. Also, if your dad started this tree from a grocery store lemon seed, it may never bear fruit, and if it does, it could be 10 years. If you really want lemons, buy a grafted tree from a nursery. They normally bear fruit in two years.

Hi team, was wondering if you could give me some advice on taking care if my lemon tree. The leaves seem to be changing colour and then fall off. It looks like something is eating them. There are no caterpillars that I could see. Only couple of birds come by and seem to land on them. What could it be the issue? They are on my balcony and getting afternoon sun only.
You probably need to catch the culprit in action by looking at both sides of leaves, branches, etc. Be on the lookout for transitory beetles too, who may come, eat and leave. Some pests are nocturnal and you may need to monitor the problem at night too. If the pest has already left, you may not see any pests.

The 2 yr old lemon tree I planted was commercially purchased and was supposed to be a variegated pink lemon. It is now 5 yrs old and has no fruit, no variegated leaves, and has very large killer thorns! Should I cut down this tree?
It is likely that at some point the desirable top portion of the tree died and the rootstalk took over. Most citrus is grafted onto a more durable rootstalk, which can take over if the suckers are not removed. Rootstalk varieties rarely produce fruit.
