I would try those fruit tree stakes, that help supply nutrients to the plant and soil.



They can be found at most garden stores...
Reply:First the plants should be kept in a cold greenhouse or consevotory over the winter, plus a lot of these trees need another to help cross polinate to produce fruit.
Reply:It is my understanding, that trees may be divided into sexes. You may need to find out, what your tree is considered and buy another of the opposite sex. They need to be cross pollinated.Do you have a lot of bee's in your yard. You may need to attract bee's to your yard and tree. Do you keep your tree inside? You may need to move it outside. You must remember that plants need to be cross pollinated to produce other plants.

Reply:plant one or two more so it can pollinate
Reply:I have one as well and is 10 years old and so far no fruit either ,I have asked around they told me that is needs to be crossbred .

Reply:try talking to it every day, it probably feels lonely and won't flower or fruit.
Reply:I have two lemon trees my self. I use the special compost that you can buy for them (approx. ￡3 a bag) and have just brought mine in for the winter. I put them in a place that gets the sunlight and is away from draughts. They usually produce lemons around Christmas time. I have had the plants about 2 years.
