      In South West Fl this year is producing an excellent "branch bending" crop. We have not picked and tested any yet to see if the sweetness has developed........DO NOT SHARE!!!!!!! make your friends get their own trees....lol

        Only 6? I have to go with do not share also! LOL

        Is your tree young? It took mine a few years to establish itself. I think we're in year 5 or 6 now and it's giving me big bounties now that I can share with family and friends but it took a long time to get there. A really hard freeze it's first winter(we're in AZ so this is not normal) I think really slowed it down for a bit.

        I don't think mine are ready yet. I haven't thought to check as we're working through an enormous key lime season on that tree right now....!

        Enjoy your lemons!

          Haha! Thanks for encouraging me to be selfish.

          My Meyer is 5 years old-lots of blooms, no bees.

          I'm in SC.I think I need to prune it better but it's always hard. Thanks y'all!
