Me and my mum palnted a lemon pip a while ago.
It has now grown to a fair size (about 2-3 feet).
We are now unsure of what to do with it, e.g. does it need pruning,
feeding, flowering, pollinating, etc.
All citrus trees are heavy feeders - you can probably get citrus food.
If not, rose food might do. But you shouldn't prune or feed just before
winter, unless, perhaps, you have it in a heated greenhouse.
Don't expect to get lemons exactly like the lemon you got the pip from -
citrus trees are usually propagated vegetatively.
But you'll have fun growing it anyway.
cheers,
