Hi @Ngnra

 

I believe enough of the tree has been trimmed off. We'll just have to wait for this new growth to mature, only time will tell if this lemon tree will bear fruit again.

Re: lemon tree not fruiting

As mentioned on your other discussion @khoder, we suggest working through our Best Advice article Why is my lemon tree not making fruit? There are a number of possible causes as to why your lemon tree might not be producing fruit. 

 

If you'd like to share more detail on the other discussion about your tree's growing conditions, and share some photos, it would assist our members to provide you with more specific advice. 

 

Thanks,

 

Jason
