Yes Darkman, the weather has been cruel to many this year. Hot to cold to hot to cold, the plants get stressed. Friday the temperature is set to plunge again from the eighties to around forty. Interesting year weather-wise.

Hi Bob,

My Meyer is having a smaller second round of blooms and I have some quartersize and smaller fruit hanging. The tree looks good and healthy I just wish it would start getting taller. Everything grows sideways on my two Meyers.

my meyer is 5-6 feet tall and now flowers, any ideas on why from folks?

Frank I don't understand your question... Meyer lemons I root all the time & they produce fruit as soon as they root out @ 12" tall.

thanks for the reply
I have a meyer lemon planetd outside and it is a 4-5 foot round bush with no flowers at all, I got 2-3 fruit last year
I am wondering what the deal is so to speak, any thoughts
thanks Frank

Maybe the ground is still cold? Is your meyer lemon tree flushing this year?

My meyer lemon tree would sometimes flower late like May in zone 9 and still produce lots of fruit. Summers and springs in zones 9 and 10 are warm though.

I have two Meyer Lemon trees in ground. Both are about 6 years old and about six feet tall. One had 130 fruit last year. The other had maybe five fruit. Both trees look great. This year I have very little fruit on either tree. We had a late frost that may have been the problem.

Near by I have a fig tree over fifty years old that I have pruned severely twice in the last four years . It was so massive the birds got more figs than I. The late frost burned it very badly and it still doesn't have any fruit.

I never saw many blooms on the Meyer trees this year. I had thought the Meyer that was loaded last year would be off this year but I thought the Meyer that was off last year would be on this year but neither have hardly any fruit. Tom

mine had a few flowers last year
tons and tons of new growth

A few citrus varieties are genetically small trees such as the Improved Meyer Lemon, the Mexican Lime, the Owari Satsuma Mandarin and several
kumquat and kumquat hybrids. One fact is almost always true, when a healthy mature citrus tree does not produce flower, nor fruit, it is not the tree's fault. - Millet

I don't have the crop I had last year but I do not have the bee activity that I should. I think the prolonged mild Spring may have starved many bees as it was warm enough for them to be out and about but we didn't have the flowers. My butterbeans are a dismal failure. Tons of blooms but no bees and and no beans. Same with the watermelons and cantelope. Surprisingly the green beans have done well.

I don't understand it all.

I still am having blooms on my Meyer Lemons and I am mid way through my second flush on all of my citrus. I am also seeing CLM.

My two Meyers in my front yard are blooming and flushing for the second time this season. I must have a 100 to 150 + lemons already hanging - from the size of a small grape to almost 3/4" in diameter......Trees are about 8' tall .

Looks like I will be make more Meyer lemon marmalade this year

I just want my two to quit spreading and get a little verticle. Alll of my fruit are within twelve inches of the ground or are on the ground. The trees are probably ten feet across with a height of three feet.

Millet, I just saw you comment from over a month ago in this thread. If a healthy citrus tree is truly healthy and it doesn't have any fruit whose fault is it ? I guess all trees within a given type are each still unique in their own way ?

I thought a healthy tree would be happy and produce fruit. I must be off some where. Could a citrus tree be healthy and still not be getting a key need met like maybe not enough sun but still be healthy ? Tom
