Went out this morning to pick the remaining lemons off and noticed blossoms already. Anyone else getting them?

Last year it set twice that I noticed, so that may be right.

I hope not I picked 343 lemons of my 6' tall tree this year,I had to prop up limbs with notched 1x4's. Hard to give away that many big juicy lemons ,unbelievable crop this year. The last 50 or so are calling my name way back in the middle.

I noticed my Meyer lemon has blossoms on it now as well. I guess I should fertilize?

I was always told not to if there is a chance of freezing temps as I think there is some danger of severely damaging the plant if it has new growth during this time.

Redfish what did you do with all of them? I'm going to juice some and freeze, candy some of the peels, and maybe make a limoncello and lemon infused olive oil.
