Our lemon tree is covered with fruit and knowing that others have this
plant, I thought I'd post this recipe


I am more interested in how you grow the lemon tree. Mine looks quite
healthy but never flowers.


Steve, another comeback on this one - I mentioned it to Ray this morning
over the toast and he asked if you'd grown it from a pip. I said I had no
idea. Apparently, lemon and orange trees grown from pips are rather like
e.g. Bramley pip seedlings. They can take many, many years to flower and
fruit and then there is no guarantee that what you get will be anything like
the 'parent' plant. If you didn't grow it from a pip, he agrees that it
probably needs feeding.
