Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I was sooo pleased - bought a really nice lemon tree from Costco's. Brought it in the house when it got too cold at night, back outside when it warmed up. Put it in a nice big mobile home & it thrived. Nice blooms & oh my, did it smell nice (sure wanted to get that scent into a soap). The bees were happy, visited quite often & then there were those cute little baby lemons starting. I go & check on it today & I can't find any of my baby lemons!!! Gone, without a trace, all that is left is a stub where the lemon was supposed to be. Who/what is the culprit!!??? I know it is not Spotty the horse, he can't get to it (learned my lesson with the peaches so I didn't trust him with the lemons - weirdo), sure the dogs didn't do it, cat wouldn't, Polly the possum could have, as also the birds & I haven't really seen any bugs. Anyone have any ideas?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 At the end of the stem where it joined the fruit, it rounded or does it have a sharp, clean 'break' look to it ? If it doesn't have the 'clean break' look to it, it fell of naturally - many things could cause it - not enough water, too much water, a sudden change in temp (doesn't have to be frosted for the fruit to drop), moving it inside or out side, or even a different part of the same yard can cause the plant to go into shock and drop it's fruit, etc.....
