Does this tree produce fruit year-round?

I wish I could answer that for you but my tree only lasted for about 4 months. I think that would be directly correlated with where you live. Lemon trees love tropical, hot and humid environments. Also, they need a lot of sunlight. Hope this helps.

Mine does! The fruit grows a little slower in the winter season, as I bring it indoors for that time, but regardless it continues to flower and produce.

If you take a good care of your tree and protect it from frosts, it wil fruit at least two times in a year.

No, I didn't cover the tree during the winter and it still doing fine through the winter here at Long Island, NY. Very easy care plant.

If the peach borer arises from larva in the ground around the tree, the answer is yes. To be sure, contact the Agriculture Extension Service in your state and pose the question.

I bought one for my granddaughter for her birthday last year. She lives in Tampa and on a recent visit I can only tell you it will be years before it matures enough to bear fruit.....if it lives that long. It is however, thriving at the moment.

So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky. The tree is very small and won't bear fruit for awhile (couple years even) but it seems healthy and happy. (pictures can be deceiving) In the cold months keep it inside near a window with lots of light and warmth and keep it watered so it doesn't dry out. When it's warmer like now, I have mine on my enclosed front porch. Makes for almost a greenhouse when it's very warm, and I think it really loves that! I've noticed some new leaves growing already!! Good luck if you decide to go with it. I would say it's worth the try! So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky.

Not sure. I got mine in Oct. So far it is doing well, had a lot of blooms but not seeing any lemons yet. It has lost a few leaves but since I received it after it had gotten cold and it hasn't been on my deck yet, I think it's doing very well. I didn't really expect to get lemons this year but I hope to get some after a summer on the deck.

I can't say because we had a white variety too. They all produced fruit the first year. But none survived last winter (in PA).

It DOES make fruit, but not anything you would want to eat. One of my plants finally fruited last year and it made the typical down hanging flower that peeled back to reveal tiny 1-2" fruit.When they turned yellow, I opened some up and there was some black specks and some mucus looking goo inside.

It's not age that determines when it's ready to produce fruit, but the bulk of the cactus itself. Many growers say that the cacti must weight about 10lbs before you have any chance of it fruiting. The growth of the cactus varies by climate. I live in Connecticut, and unfortunately my cactus has to live indoors for half of the year to avoid frost damage. I've had it for almost 3 years and it still hasn't borne fruit. I'm hoping this summer will finally be fruitful, pun intended!

I have only had the tree for two years and it has not produced any fruit yet. It depends on where you live if there is a chance of freezing I would not plant it in the ground.

yes, of course, and it will benefit the tree. Just don't eat the fruit during the season you use the Bayer on the tree. It's simple.

C. mitis can fruit in just a few years and is know to flower intermittently and bear fruit in profusion throughout the year.

No. This tree is indigenous to the Rain Forests and only climates that come close such as South America, Brazil, Mexico can grow them successfully. Again, the reason the fruit is so difficult to get.

I have no clue. It must have been because I got a ton of delicious lemons. Then the tree died. I had it for about a year and a half. It was fun.. Downside is that it was crazy hard to keep the fruit flies away.

not at all, it's look amazing & gorgeous and this is the 2nd tree I purchased. I put it outside on the porch patio. Really recommended.

I have had mine for a year....still very small plants and no fruit. I have no idea how long before it will produce. I am sure you could contact Matt at Hirt's; he is very helpful.

You can eat the fruit. I'm not sure how many years it takes to get fruit. I purchased my tree 11 months ago. It is thriving very well, look great. I have had blooms but no fruit.
