I've never seen so much fruit on my meyer lemon tree. It must be loving the big drink.
I have a meyer lemon, and the quantity of fruit on it amazes me. Not as much this year, but two years ago I thinned the fruit out and removed over 100 small lemons. And there were still heaps left. It's only about 5 or 6 years old now. Actually, this year my 3 fruit trees seemed quite confused. My mango, my mandarin, and the lemon were all a couple months late flowering. By the time I saw flowers on the lemon, there were already several lemons on the tree, but medium growth, and very new. The mandarin had hardly any flowers, then it had a heap of small fruit, which then disappeared. Then it had another go at it and still no fruit. The mango had one only mango that set, but something might have eaten it as it disappeared. Although the "Wet Season" lasted a total of two months (mid-Dec to mid-Feb) plus a few incidental good falls, the skies were overcast until around June. I'd been planning to sort out my shipping container, but I didn't thinking it might actually rain. By the time the clouds disappeared the grass was dead and the winds had built up. Not conducive to the job, so it didn't happen. (That's my excuse anyway.) So pretty strange weather this last year, not surprising the trees were confused.
