Meyer Lemon
« on: August 24, 2014, 07:09:15 PM »
My lemon tree seems to be having a number of issues with its fruit. There are pock marks all over the fruit and they are dropping early and not ripening. Picture attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there also any damage/dark spots on any of the leaves of this tree? - Millet

I'm not sure what the problem is, but it certainly looks like hail damaged fuit. - Millet - Millet

The mocking birds would peck on nearly every fruit in my house in Beaumont.

Try planting a vineyard.  They'll peck at each cluster waiting until they're sugary sweet.  In the mean time the cluster rots.  Bam, there goes your profits.  I now net.  Now, if I can just keep the damn coons away.  Seems the only way to exclude them is trapping and shooting.
