Lemon Tree Not Blooming Or Producing Lemons

RE: Lemon Tree Not Blooming Or Producing Lemons Post By Margie (Guest Post) (07/20/2008) My lemon tree has been bearing fruit for 9 years. All of a sudden this year no fruit will stay on the tree they all drop off. We had wild fires last fall, can this have anything to do with it, the soot and ash, or should I worry about lemon pests?

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lemon Tree Not Blooming Or Producing Lemons Post By Melissa (Guest Post) (04/04/2008) I am having a hard time with my tree as well. I bought it from someone who said that it was fruiting, yet it seemed not to be producing much fruit. We replanted it and cut down many branches. The branches grew large, yet for 6 months nothing happened. I cleaned it initially and watered it every week. Then today I saw some red buds forming for the first time. Are those fruit in their early stages?

I just trimmed back the bush to make it into a tree once again and I realized its starting to bud. Ive heard it just takes a long time to bare fruit, so just wait and see.

No you do not need 2 trees to make baby lemons. You must have a grafted tree to produce. My lemon trees are 2 years old producing approx. 40-50 lbs of citrus. It gets better every year. You must control the white flys and other bugs as well. The dark dirt looking stuff on the leaves are not helping the growth.

Another words if you planted a seed from a myers lemon the tree probably will not produce myers lemons when it does bud and fruit. If you want fruit before then you must grapht (graft) a bud from another tree onto it. Simply do a search on google "graphting lemon trees" and about 100,000 sites with info will come up. good luck Report Spam or Abuse Do i need 2 Lemon Trees Post By Meagan (Guest Post) (05/11/2007) I was just wondering if you need to lemon trees two to be able to get lemons. we were told different things so i am wondering if anyone has done it with just one tree planted outside?

Miracle Grow is the only fertilizer I have used. It winters in the house in an unheated room.

They graft the better quality fruit onto a strong rooted variety. Fruit trees need to be fertilized 4 times per year with a citrus and fruit tree fertilizer and if it fails to bloom give it a feed of Sulphate of Ammonia. You don't need two trees - just some bees to polinate them. Hope this helps!

If it has it may never flower. You may be able to graft onto it to produce healthy fruit. I have a one year old lemon that has fruit already. I also have a 3 year old lime that hasn't flowered. I think I will try spraying it with seaweed emulsion which is supposed to protect from frosts, and promote healthy flowering. I also have a citrus that grew from a seed and is a really healthy plant but hasn't flowered. I think I will try grafting onto it this year from Mum's orange tree which has great fruit in a similar climate.

I still have 7 or 8 years to go with mine. Be patient. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lemon Tree Not Blooming Or Producing Lemons Post By (Guest Post) (05/13/2005) I'm having a similar problem although my tree is only going on it's second season. It hasn't grown much so I moved it to a sunnier spot. I also just fed it citrus/tropical fertilizer. It hasn't been long enough yet to see results. I'm hoping it just needed some fertilizer. Also I found out that they need to be fed March thru Sept. but check your species just in case. Good luck!

Just having a second lemon tree nearby will not make your original tree bloom. :-) Unfortunately I have no idea why your tree doesn't bloom. Some types of fruits only produce flowers/fruit on old wood that's been around for at least a year. Maybe (big emphasis on "maybe"!) by cutting the tree back, you're cutting off the old wood that would produce fruit. Wild guess on my part. Other possibilities are too-short days (don't know where you live but this might be an issue if you're pretty far north), missing nutrients, and being rootbound. Maybe a Google search would turn up some info for you. Good luck!
