Limes not fruiting

5 responses

baldrick starts with ... I have a tahitian lime that is6 years old now. We got 3 fruit fromit in the first 2 years, but now have not had it flower or fruit since. Also have 2 finger limes, one that has flowered a few times and had fruit, 1 that has not. Any suggestions on how to get them to fruit (again)?

Dave says... Do they look healthy and do you have any pictures of them? As long as they are in the right environment (lots of sun, little wind), I would have to guess that are most likely hungry. Maybe all they require is a good doose of good quality fertilizer.	About the Author Dave2 Adelaide 11th March 2010 2:30pm #UserID: 3291 Posts: 31 View All Dave2's Edible Fruit Trees
