I live in Southern California. How many times a year can I expect my Meyer
lemon tree to produce lemons? My tree was full of lemon's from November to
January. Now I see little green ones popping up.
I'm not sure if it's two crops a year or one.
Thanks.

They generally bear all year. Lemons are picked by size, and are
usually harvested four times a year.

Unless it's a backyard tree of course - then you just go out and get a
lemon whenever you need one. Great thing for when your relatives from
places that have winter are visiting - just casually send them to the
garden for a lemon while you're making salad dressing.

I get two harvests from my Meyer's lemon, but in winter I keep it in the
greenhouse where it develops flowers. I just yesterday hand pollinated the
flowers. I'll have lemons in June, again in November. My Meyer's is the
variegated form and it produces beautiful pink flesh. Pink lemonaide.
