No worries, Elaine. It's a new tree purchased in Dec. but it's in a pot. It had fruit on it when we bought it. Is it odd that 2 lemons are finally turning yellow since we bought it in December? We've had a mild winter and it stayed outside all winter, on the porch when the frost hit those few nights. Maybe still too cool to ripen and grow as all this is happening now.

I'll have to count the little lemons on it. It almost seems as if the tree knows it's small and has to let go some of the weight before the fruit gets too heavy for it's wee little branches. I will keep watering as the weather gets hotter. I don't want dry lemons. It will be too late to rectify that by then. It will be interesting when the 2 have ripen.
