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.


Perhaps I'll have a need for more than one lemon per year when I'm in my
forties or fifties & the lemon tree starts fruiting.


I said: "You need to wait twenty or thirty years for one to fruit" - not
- "You need to wait twenty or thirty years for one fruit"


I only use approx. 1 lemon per year atm - hence my other statement. I
merely
put some seeds in a seed tray - it's not a huge project to sustain a lemon
addiction.


You call that an addiction already?
