They love the location, just leave them alone and they will turn when nature tells them to. They generally turn yellow before they spoil on the tree itself. Let mother nature do her thing.
Maybe its a lime?
mine don't turn yellow either. lol how often is it best to put citrus feed on them?
They're limes
i bought the tree at Home Depot and it said it was a Meyers lemon patio tree. Plus, they're way too big to be limes. The two i pulled are about the sizes of a small apple. The tree is full of lemons so I'm going to leave them alone to see if they'll turn yellow.
Citrus trees generally go through 3 drops before the fruit is actually ready. First the flowers, then some marble sized balls, and then fruit that sometimes ripens. The fruit after the 3rd drop is the good fruit. Nature's way of making sure only the best survives.
Our lemons are really limes? WOW, I must really have a valuable tree. Last year, my tree produced yellow lemons. This year, they are all green and must be limes. How cool is THAT!! Thanks so much for your valuable opinion.
I have the opposite problem. My Meyer lemon tree has yellow lemons but keep falling off before they get bigger than marble size.
You may have gotten one like i had once. Bought at Home Depot potted it, grew great! when the fruit ripponed they were Limes...think someone labeled it wrong..
Those are not lemons, cut 1 open and taste it.
Your tree location may be too shaded. Or the weather conditions may have an impact. Long periods of cold or cloudy weather with little sun and heat can slow ripening down. Frost can severely damage your lemon tree.
