Hi, does anyone please know how I can tell when the lemons on my

No lemons on my bush!
What conditions do you keep? And indoor or outdoor?

None on mine either - but then, it's only three or four years old.

I keep mine outside unless there's a threat of a frost. Only forgotten
to bring it in once, but it took that in its stride and didn't even drop
any leaves, despite the frost being quite a hard one.

If the lemon was planted as a pip, expect to wait twenty or thirty years
for fruit. Usually, fruiting buds or twigs are grafted onto younger
stock - once the tissue is programmed to fruit, any further growth on
that scion will continue to do so.
