Comments (75)Rorion, you're probably better off starting a brand new message, instead of tacking onto an older message thread. Also, please include where you live and zone. And if your trees are in the ground or container (sounds like you're talking about container citrus, so your topic is quite different that the original poster's thread).

Comments (3)Thank you for your replies. Sorry for the delay. The tree is kept inside. it sits in front of a window that gets light most of the day. however I noticed the roof hangs out bit and might be blocking the brightness of the sun. I fertilized it about 3 weeks ago, and the soil mix is a mulch blend with added perlite. I have included a picture of the new growth that sprouted shortly after I repotted it. Since then however the rest of the leaves have died off. I have included a picture of the whole tree as well. Thank so much for your help....See MoreMeyer Lemon tree help
Comments (8)Congratulations on your first citrus tree! I bought a Meyer Lemon myself in July/August and your fruit still have a ways to go. Lemons can take anywhere from 6-10 months to ripen, so don't let the size make you prematurely expectant. They also tend to flower multiple times throughout the year (as opposed to one main flowering like some other citrus) so it's quite normal to have fruit on the tree while its flowering again. As long as its being well fed with fertilizer the first set of lemons should still ripen fine, and citrus will usually drop what new fruits the trees are enable to support anyway. Mine had one the size of a pea on it when I bought it and that is now about the size of a normal lemon but it has also flowered a couple weeks ago and set more fruit, and is flowering again now lol. I really like this variety....See MoreMeyer Lemon Tree Help Needed!
Comments (6)It's been inside since I bought it, set between a south and east facing window. It's in "Miracle Grow Cactus, Palm, and Citrus Soil". I water it based on a time schedule as for the first couple months I had it, every 8 days is when the soil was dry 2 inches down. It used to be in a miniature pot, the one it's in looks small for it, but I don't see any roots growing out the bottom. I fertilize it every 2.5 months. I have a small lamp in the opposite corner of the room that doesn't produce much light and is rarely on, other than that, there are no lights in the room. Thanks for the replies, I've grown really fond of this tree and would rather not have it die....See Moreponcirusguy6b452xx
