How do I get my lime tree to grow fruit?
Last year I bought a small lime tree. It lost its leaves in the winter, but came back beautifully this spring. Although I got about 5 limes off it last summer, none are growing this year. What should I be doing to get limes? Thanks

Fertilize frequently – Lime trees are heavy feeders. They will quickly deplete the soil around them, in the ground or in a container. Be sure to fertilize every few months with compost or a nitrogen rich fertilizer. Keep them warm – Lime trees cannot tolerate temperatures much under 50 degrees F.

Do you feed it. Not overfeed. Maybe a wider/larger pot.
I use Espoma Citrus tone and I think it is really good. One of mine lost all of its leaves but is well on the way to health. I always use a grow light on them in the Winter. They cannot get too much sun and winter here is hard on them. I typically leave the light on for 18 hours a day.
I have a citrus tree that is surprisingly hard to kill. Giving it special food for citrus plants about once a month helps produce fruit.
I'm glad you posted this. My potted lime tree recently lost most of its leaves when I left it out during an unseasonably cold night (45 degrees), but after bringing it in to a warmer space and putting it outside on sunny, warm days, it is now covered in blooms. I'm hoping we'll both get fruit this year!
