    Did you grow them from a pip yourself,if so you will probably never get lemons,the ones we have are grafted. I live in the mildest area of the UK near the sea,mine go in a green house in October,the oranges have to come into the conservatory,they are more tender. They aren't fed till they have fruit.wateted very occasionally in winter,in a soil based medium.

    When my children were small we grew lemon and grapefruit ‘trees’ in our conservatory. They never fruited but the perfume from the flowers was glorious. Reason enough to grow them. 😊

    Hubby s prize baby is a grapefruit,now about 4 feet diameter and height,in excess of 25 years old. He grew from a pip
     It flowered after 10 years, which is the norm,it's never flowered again,and people refuse to believe it isn't grafted and that he really did grow it from a pip

    I actually yes grow them from a pip. I’m not expecting lemon it’s just for the fun 😂
