I’ve only had my little potted tree since last summer. It set 3 fruits in the fall. I brought it indoors in late October. (I live in zone 5b, Chicagoland) . It’s in my sunniest window.

The fruits started turning yellow in late December. They have been fully yellow for a while now, but I don’t know if “yellow” means ripe.

I saw some packaged Meyer lemons in the grocery store – the only time I have ever seen them - and their color was yellow-orange, not yellow. Is that the color they are supposed to be when ripe?

Another question:

I have not seen any growth – nor any additional flowering - since bringing it in. Is that because it’s winter, and nothing much is growing, even indoors? Alive, but in a holding pattern.

Or because fruit is still attached?

Thanks.
