I have 2 lemons trees. I live in Africa so sun is not a problem. Each year I get lots of flowers but very few, if any, go on to become lemons. Any advice?
If you are seeing blossoms but you get no fruit, this could be a pollination problem. You can hand pollinate with a small paintbrush. Just go from flower to flower and swirl the brush inside the blossoms.
Container grown, died back and regrowing well but branches thorny! Will the thorny branches ever bloom/bear fruit?
If it died all the way back to the root stock, there is a good chance that the root stock is what is growing now and not your lemon tree. Root stock trees are typically used because they are hardy and they often produce little to no fruit that is inferior in quality anyway.
As the new growth look very different from the way it was, I think it is safe to say that your tree actually died and this is the root stock. I would recommend starting over with a new tree.
What is the lifespan of a lemon tree?

This spring there was plenty of flowers on the tree. They were pollinated and had tiny lemons sprout at the base of the flower. Then they all turned yellow and fell off at the base of the stem. This is the second year in a row that all of the lemons died off immediately. Any ideas?
There are a few reasons this can happen. The most common is that it is getting uneven watering. Citrus trees will drop their fruit first if they do not get enough water, even for a short period and they need more water when they are in fruit.
Pollination issues may also be the cause. If the flower is under pollinated, the tree may abort the fruit. A small paintbrush swirled in some of the flowers can help improve the pollination.
