To many flowers on a lemon tree?
I have been struggling for a couple of years to get a small lemon tree
to flower then fruit. Finally got the soil in order and this year the tree has generated a very large number of flowers, far too many for them all to fruit. My question is, do I allow the tree to go through a natural selection process, or should I nip some of the buds early before the fruit starts to set. thanks james |

Once the fruit get to about walnut size you could thin them if there seems too many for the branch to hold if they all grow full size. David |
