Last December, we harvested from them both for the first time, but it was not a lot; we are hoping for more this year. Citrus trees need to be watered well to grow and produce fruit once they have flowered, especially in this drought. <br /><br />Also, my father-in-law recommended that we drive some nails into the lemon tree to make it grow taller and flower; my husband thinks that is why it fruited last year. I have no idea if this worked or why it would, but you could try it once your trees are a few years older.<br /><br />Fruit trees generally take about 5 years to produce; the peach tree we have is fast growing, so it produced after only 3 or 4 years. By the time your trees are fruiting, Alicia, your children should be able to help you carry in the harvest! If you find out a way to get the fruit sooner, let me know.<br /><br />BTW, does anyone want peach seeds? I still have peaches left, so I could save some seeds. Let me know!Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644097146566373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826576056104667463.post-57289983994613248592011-07-03T07:28:18.642-05:002011-07-03T07:28:18.642-05:00My husband and I planted a grapefruit tree and ora...My husband and I planted a grapefruit tree and orange tree several months ago. Any suggestions for a great harvest in such a short time as you have experienced!
