Hi Lisette,

Can you give us more information about the tree? Is it a young or established tree? Have you fed it or composted it this season? Things like that.

Hi,

Do you still have the label that came with your tree? That should tell you when the fruit are due to become ripe. From experience growing lemons, I think citrus fruit spend quite a long time being tiny before they start growing in size and turning their final colour. It may simply be that your tree will have ripe fruit in Autumn, and will spend most of the summer with small green fruit?

It is still very young for a citrus tree. I have a dwarfing orange tree of similar age and I'm not expecting it to fruit at all this year.
