I have this Persian Lime tree and it's planted in an extra large lawn pot. It blooms and fruit starts but never holds. What do I do?

    You might consider getting your soil tested. Limes may fall from the tree due to the soil being too alkaline or acidic. These conditions prevent the lime tree from properly taking in nutrients. Without the proper nutrients, the tree is unable to survive and grow fruit, so lime tree fruit drop occurs so that the tree can survive.
