r/Lemon

I really wanted to try making the viral fruit-shaped pastries and I thought lemon would be the easiest one. Super fun to make but it took forever and only made 6! Granted, I could have bought another mold but I only had one. 😅

I will definitely be trying more fruits in the future because I'm determined to get this right. I substituted cocoa butter for coconut oil when making the outer white chocolate shell. I am not sure if I just didn't use enough or if I really need to invest in some cocoa butter for next time because the shell was way too thick!

Has anyone ever tried making these and have any advice for me going forward?!

(The inside is a coconut mousse, lemon cake, and lemon curd)

I have a grafted Tahiti lime on Swingle citrumelo rootstock. Before this photo I've already removed one obvious trifoliate rootstock sucker.

Now another shoot is growing but this time exactly from the graft union/scar, and I’m sure it is Tahiti lime, not rootstock.

Would you keep this shoot or remove it? Any structural or long-term issues with letting a scion shoot grow directly from the graft union?

I’ve had this potted Meyer lemon for about 6 months. It immediately grew 2 feet straight up with bug beautiful leaves and then suddenly they all started dropping. I repotted it into a 5 gallon with my own citrus mix and got it an additional grow light on top of the window it’s next to. I’ve tried watering more, I’ve tried watering less. Fertilizer no fertilizer. I treated it with Neem oil in case it had pests. It gets a shoot of new leaves and then they all fall off and it repeats…. Please help me I am a fool

Found this while browsing.

I have a 6-year-old homegrown lemon tree that I grew from seed and later grafted. It has only one fruit, and it looks like this. What are these brown spots? The fruit is still hard, and it has been on the tree for more than a year.

Most of the leaves on this Meyer lemon look healthy, but there are some near the center of the tree that are VERY curled and yellowy. The tree currently has lots of fruit, gets daily water, and gets partial sun. Zone 8b. Any ideas?

It has amazing new growth but severe yellowing and darkening on the back of leaves especially for older leaves. Some leaves have dark black marks that can be scraped off, but there is darkening that is engrained on the backs of leaves with some chlorosis. I have had spider mite issues before. What is wrong with my tree?
