Hey Fellas!

I know it's been a while but boy do I have some updates for you!:

Here we have the BUDS from a day or two ago:


And here they are tonight! (They are purple now!!!!):




I also have new growth sprouting from literally every branch on my tree. Some new growth is over 6-7 inches:




And here she is loooookin good (I must be doing something right?):



Enjoy,

Looks really nice, but get it out, to let it get some sun and the bees can enjoy the blossoms ..

EURIKA!




I just used a Q-Tip to pollinate the few that were open. I am sure more will open up soon. I just got back from being away for the weekend and there they were, just as I assumed they would be! How long till lemons now? I also have brownish purplish hairs growing out of the very tips of multiple new growth areas and I am not sure what they are. Any ideas?

@Sanguinello: Thank You, I have a nice place by my sliding door to my deck that gets nice sun. I sometimes but it there during the day when it's very sunny. Otherwise, it seems to be loving my set up and my carbon dioxide emissions

Thanks,

EUREKA is another lemon ..

Yes, but you also can open the window to get the CO² out and O² in ..

The Meyerii will do much better when be outside all warm season ...

So, once the flowers are pollinated and the little yellow center part (kinda looks like a mini lollipop) Is fully pollinated, does that part fall off or stay on? One of my flowers it fell off but there is still something growing out of the base cap and it looks like a mini green lemon:




All my other flowers have their pistil? I think it is. Let me know fellas!


And look! I just picked up some hot banana peppers:




Enjoy,

Yes !

All is it has to be.

The polls are the male part and the lolipop is the female.
After polinated, the lolli falls off and the lil lemon grows ...

Hello All! Here is an update. I have pictures of the mini lemons from two different angles. Let me know how it looks and if everything is as it should be:





I removed a bud or two that were late bloomers and one or two also fell off. These are the ones left. I have 3 that looks to be lemons for sure (2 I am positive, one is a little smaller). I am still waiting for that last flower to completely fall off and then I will ave 4 little lemons HOPEFULLY!!! I am very excited for these puppies to start blowing up!

Thanks,

all ok, but 4 lemons could be too much for such a lil tree.

well what would you suggest is a good number? The tree is about 3-4 years old now shouldn't it be able to handle 4 lemons?

Think it,s alright to leave 4 fruits on it.
They grow not that big,smaller than the usual lemon.

You must not grow them in the ground. My Meyers can get about double the size of a regular lemon.

Well, I think 4 Lemons will take all the power of the plant and it will not grow on.

Maybe some will be fall off anyways.

A lemon fruit obtains all of the energy it requires to grow from its earliest beginnings to maturity, from only the three or four leaves that are closest to the fruit. Therefore, Dr. Citrus's four lemons will merely require 12 to 15 of the tree's leaves to fully develop. They will actually use very little of the tree's energy, and will certainly not cause any difficulty for a 4 year old lemon tree. - Millet (223 BO-)

Thank You guys for all of the good information! here are the pictures of my tree. I picked off every flower but 2 after realizing the other ones were going to hinder the good ones. Here are 2 angles of the lemons and then the whole tree:





and here is Andrea the lemon tree as of today, 6/16/12:



Enjoy,

Andrea looks good ..
