Q: Can you give me advice on lemon trees which I have grown from seed from Greece from a pure lemon 10 yrs ago. They’re 5 feet tall but never flower. A seed brought back from a holiday has produced a plant, – but will it bear fruit?
A: Plants grown from seed will rarely grow true; apples, pears and in your case lemon, even produce a tree that will come to flower and therefore into fruit. However, your lemon tree is still young, it can take 10-15 years from seed to become a fruiting tree. If you want to feed it give it ericaceous feed then wait and be patient. Enjoy the tree.
