I think the whole idea of growing citrus is to get fruit. :-)

So I would leave them on and let them mature and ripen. They look rather small yet, but so does the tree. Give them time.

Fruit that has been on for lets say, 10 months, will still continue to ripen? Or will they just stay like that?

Looking at your tree it sure looks dry, the leaves are all curled up, and look to be off color. Are you watering the tree enough? Not to be picky but technically, citrus fruit don't ripen, they mature. - Silica

I don't like seeing that much soil in a pot. There isn't even 1" from the soil to the rim. It's tough to put enough water into a pot planted like that.

Imo, one should have at least 2-4" between the top of the soil and the rim of the pot. That way you can fill that baby up to the top and get a good amount of water into the soil. If you water so that the pot is filled, and you see bubble coming up into the pool of water, you know it's still not saturated enough. If you have so little room that you can't get a pool of water before it overflows, you have too much soil in that pot.

There is a lot of fear of over watering citrus, and that can be a real problem, but under watering is just as bad, and even if you correct it, you may have lost your crop. A tree that is water starved will abort the fruit to save it's life.

Silica: Those leaves you see that are curled up, are older ones and now they are falling off. The plant stayed indoors for winter and now is getting used to being outside again. There is alot of new growth on the plant, maybe its hard to see on the picture. I was trying to ask if these fruits will still mature or will they stay like that. Since they are from last year. And yes, it's been getting at least 1 time/week water. Sometimes more because of rain.

BarbJP: I took your advice and took a good amount of this soil away. I try to keep it to 1time a week for watering it to get it right. So far it's been doing fine and right now has about 16 new upcoming fruits on it. It's definetly not lacking water then.

Actually, over watering a citrus has never killed a container tree yet. What actually kills the tree is the lack of root zone oxygen caused by insufficient drainage. A couple years back I ran two watering experiments with citrus trees growing in 5-gallon containers. The growth medium in both containers had excellent root zone aeration/drainage. With the first tree I watered it well every day for two months. With the second tree I watered it twice a day for two mounts. Both trees remained healthy and grew additional foliage during the experiment. Citrus can even be grown hydroponically if one wished. - Silica

That's great Cedrick Ramoudt. Just a heads up though. The sprouts on the trunk seem to be root stock suckers coming out. I think I can see the leaves of Citrus trifoliata which is a common root stock. You can tell because it has "leaves of 3". It that's true, be sure to scrape them off. They will sap energy from the upper plant and sometimes will take over.

The new sprouts on the branches look fine and are a great indication that you are doing well with your plant.

Thank you for the heads up. I learned something I didn't know this. I had a similar thing happen to my olive tree and also cut it off after few months. I will cut them off today.
