Let us assume that the trees came from good grafted stock. (Natural
seedlings may not ever be productive.) Lemon trees are very easy to
grow and usually highly productive. Peach, nectaring, and plum are easy
to grow. The stone fruit may be varities that require more chill than
you are getting. It my also be that you are over feeding your trees. I
have peach, nectarine, and plum that I never feed. It is a major job
each spring to thin the fruit as the fruit set is greater than the tree
can support. I use deep watering with two to three weeks between
watering.

There are lots of additional questions. Do the trees get sunshine? Are
the varities suitable for the area? Do you prune the trees adequately?
How old are the trees?

Hi Richard,

The peach, nectarine and plum are in there 2nd year of growth. The first
year they didn't give fruit either. I have 2 lemon trees. One of them we
brought with us to our new house when we moved here 3 years ago. At the old
house it was giving lemons, now it's been 3 years with nothing. I think it
suffered some stress or was planted wrong? The tree is alive, it does give
the white flowers but again no lemons develop. The other lemon tree was
given to us, it's also in it's second year at our house. This lemon tree
does not give any white flowers, it just sits there! The trees get enough
sunshine. I bought them from a local nursery, so I think they should be
suitable for my area.

I'll follow yours and the other posters advice. Maybe I am feeding to much,
I'll stop feeding them and see what happens. It's been hot here in Southern,
CA so I water them every other day. Should I do a deep watering like you? If
so, how exactly would I deep water them?

Thanks,
Emil
