How about water greyeyedgirl?

Hi - it depends on if "all" is accurate. It certainly seems like my Meyer Lemon drops way too many tiny baby lemons, but in all honesty, it's not all. I'd love for it to keep all the lemons that start but I guess it knows what it can keep and grow. It kills me to see all those potential lemons laying on the deck, but I keep checking to ensure it's at least keeping some. If your plant is keeping some, then you're ok, because creating lots and dropping a bunch is normal. Dropping all is not normal, though. Hope that helps. Alana

I know how you feel. Unfortunately, only 5-10% of the blooms will result in set fruit. I have a lemon tree in the ground that blossomed for the first time this year. It's three years old. I had hundreds of blossoms and lost all but 12. But the 12 fruits that set are doing well and they are about the size of a walnut! I did notice that I started losing less after I fertilized. I was on the same schedule as you where the blossoms came at the end of the three month fertilizing cycle. I have also had a handful of new blooms recently and almost all of those seemed to set fruit. I am getting a flush of leaves now and am hoping for more blossoms in June and hopefully more lemons this fall.

My goodness, I feel like I need to chime in here. I too have a little Meyer Lemon tree, a I am just amazed at it, It's just a little thing, and I've had it going on 3 years now. It has one huge lemon that seems like it must be a year old and almost ripe, then another about golf ball size and I see a baby about pea size on there now. It never had noticeable dropping of baby lemons. It seems like it blooms year round...but it lives in a greenhouse year round. I've never fertilized it, and it is potted in plain old commercial potting mix. Now that I read what it needs for potting soil when it grows too big for the pot I will mix my own.
I'm really thrilled with this youngster. How long do they live? Should I be putting it outside in the summer?

As a single voice in the discussion, you are all excited about a Lemon Tree that has a mind of its own and it can be very frustrating. The Lemon Tree will only fruit as many as it can support I guess genetically. I dont know how else to put it. Thats just the way they are, some years plenty of fruit, other years they will break your heart by dropping practically all of their fruit. Thats just the Lemon Mentality.Better Luck next year.
