Hi, does anyone please know how I can tell when the lemons on my
lemon tree are ripe and ready to be plucked?  Thanks.


No lemons on my bush!
What conditions do you keep? And indoor or outdoor?

None on mine either - but then, it's only three or four years old.

I keep mine outside unless there's a threat of a frost. Only forgotten
to bring it in once, but it took that in its stride and didn't even drop
any leaves, despite the frost being quite a hard one.

If the lemon was planted as a pip, expect to wait twenty or thirty years
for fruit. Usually, fruiting buds or twigs are grafted onto younger
stock - once the tissue is programmed to fruit, any further growth on
that scion will continue to do so.
