Default Lemon Plant loosing leaves

The message
from Stephen Wolstenholme contains these words:

I've grown a few lemon plants from pips. They never produce any fruit.
Even after many years. The ones that we see for sale that are already
in fruit are grafted. All you will get from pips is a plant about
three foot high with quite nice shiny leaves.


You need to wait twenty or thirty years for one to fruit if it's grown
from a pip.

I'm going to graft onto mine - which has soared to about four feet
within three years.
