Limes not fruiting (forum)

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)?

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.

I had trouble with my lime not fruiting a few years back then gave them a feed of trace elements & they loved it & rewarded me with fruit.

The trees are very healthy, get good sunshine etc. Might just need that trace element. Will try this week end.

Good idea, this is the one that I use http://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/Osmocote/Osmocote_Trees_Shrubs_Citrus

Last time I gave it this, my lemon tree looked like it went on steroids and flowered like crazy.

I have never used Osmocote Dave, you seem to be experienced with it
