Lemon and Lime Tree help
I have one lemon and one lime. I transplated them both last weekend.
Each tree had two fruits growing. Today I checked the trees and there is a problem with the fruit. Each one looks like something is eating the rind. I am not sure what it could be (birds or squirrels) The trees are small and I do not think a squirrel can reach the fruit and the tree can not hold them. Any suggestions on what I can do to protect them? I was thinking of putting a net, simialr to the ones used for tomoato plants, around them. Each tree only stands about 3 - 3 1/2 feet tall. |

Is it possible that it is mechanical damage? hth -_- how no NEWS is good |

Check for snails. They eat the skin of the fruit. They will also eat the bark of the tree enough to girdle and kill the tree. See http://axp.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/r107500111.html -- David E.

Thanks for this information. Here is a little more detail. Each
fruit has little holes. It looks like a bird was pecking at the fruit or scrapping the fruit |

Have you even drunk tea made from the tenderest new yellow-green lemon leaves?
