2533Q.Lemon trees
My lemon tree is healthy and has been producing great lemons for years; however, the last six months the fruit is rotten inside. They look healthy outside and the tree still looks very healthy. Can you suggest something to rectify this problem? Thank you

Unfortunately, a young grandchild picked lemons off my potted lemon tree. She had never shown any interest before so I wasn't concerned when she was playing by the tree. They are a good size, but still green in colour. Can they be saved?

March 6, 2017A.Unlink other citrus fruit, lemons will ripen off the tree. Just leave them in a cool and ventilated area!

March 12, 2017Q.lemon flowers are falling off or little fruits falling off
Thank you telling me how to prune my Meyer lemon tree, but the problem seems to start when fruits forming or when fruits are really tiny. I am fertilizing with high nitrogen fertilizer, keeping it watered well but not over watering. I keep it in a sunny place in the sun room. Can I take off some of the flowers so there is room for fruits to form? thank you nancy

March 12, 2017A.You can eliminate some of the blossoms or when the tiny lemons have formed, prune some of them away.
Make sure there is no number higher then 8 in your fertilizer that you are using.
Increasing light or adding some additional time with a grow light can help.

March 13, 2017A.Sucker growth would come from the roots or may be growing just below a graft line on the tree.

March 14, 2017A.I can't specifically say I see a graft line, but I would say this is a sucker growing on the tree.

3020Q.Lemon tree
What is this strange growth on my lemon tree? It happened after I pruned it right back to remove curled leaves. Should I remove it or will that damage the tree? Thanks, Rebecca
