isn&#8217;t my lemon tree producing lemons?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-da20c844-a8d7-4822-a197-b5d71ef9acba\">Many people have chosen to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>grow their own lemon tree in the garden<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to enjoy fresh, organic lemons and, above all, to save more money.&nbsp;But to obtain&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a rich and abundant harvest<\/strong>&nbsp;, the lemon tree needs proper care in its environment.&nbsp;It is therefore no coincidence that many farmers ask themselves this question: why doesn&#8217;t my lemon tree produce lemons?&nbsp;Here are some answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-f1d8bcf6-7a16-4e84-a586-873f3f27ab5d\">Shrub too young<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a971581a-f4a9-42b2-94f7-8bdbdb9c75f8\">If your lemon tree is not producing lemons, it may be because&nbsp;<strong>it is too young and not yet large enough to bear fruit<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;A lemon tree takes 2 to 10 years to produce fruit.&nbsp;Additionally, the origins of the shrub also play an important role in fruiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-0833b43a-c9dd-4eb3-8743-d778174a6c85\">If you have chosen to grow your lemon tree from seeds, you should know that you will have to wait a few years before you can harvest fresh lemons.&nbsp;On the other hand, if you planted your lemon tree from a lemon branch or leaf, you can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>grow a crop quite quickly<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Furthermore, the lemons produced have the same flavor as the mother plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-3c286fc6-fd05-4ff7-b17c-a0493edecafc\">Pollination failed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-34726fdc-237b-4776-bb40-d3afc2d426f8\">Most fruit trees bloom in spring.&nbsp;This is the case of the lemon tree.&nbsp;To produce fruit, pollen from the male part of the flower must be transported to the female part.&nbsp;At this point, fertilization occurs which produces the fruit.&nbsp;If the lemon tree does not flower, it is therefore impossible to think of bearing fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-b673db56-391c-49ee-a0e6-0c49b74f75d0\">However, if your shrub produces flowers that do not turn into fruit, it means that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>pollination is not occurring correctly<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;For this reason, it is necessary for pollinating insects to do their job.&nbsp;If you grow your own potted lemon tree indoors, you need to get your hands dirty to make the pollination process successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-cfe28176-5c7c-484e-8c4e-5d4ad9294bb6\">Unsuitable temperature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7c17bac5-37c5-4f30-853d-d2c9ac8ceb32\">Although the lemon tree can be grown practically anywhere, especially indoors, don&#8217;t forget that it needs a good temperature and perfect sunshine to be able to produce fruit.&nbsp;Although the lemon tree can resist the cold for a limited period, it requires a temperature between 15 and 30\u00b0 to grow in the best conditions.&nbsp;If you grow your fruit tree indoors, you will have to take care of the light.&nbsp;On the other hand, temperature plays an important role if you grow your lemon tree in the garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people have chosen to&nbsp;&nbsp;grow their own lemon tree in the garden&nbsp;&nbsp;to enjoy fresh, organic lemons and, above all, to
