Hi,
My lemon tree has lots of lemons on but they are green and not changing, been on there a long time now. The question is should I remove them, can use them green, and would newer ones grow after if I did.
Thanks
Sue |

They're fine to use green.
there are several varieties of lemon, one type produces several crops a year, other just one, so depends on which breed you have as to whether you'll get more fruit before next year. |

Can you grow a lemon tree in a very large pot or has it got to be in a ground?
Not sure

Ther is not enough acid in the soil or compost so feed lemon and orange trees with epsom salts. I have a bumper crop of oranges and lemons this year

Some people put it around the base of the tree then water it in. I put one table spoon of epsom salts in a 5 ltr watering can and give a third to each tree. Do this once a month. I do it at the beginning of the month for ease of remembering. One week later i feed them with plant food or put fertilizer around the base of the plant and when you water it it dissolves into the ground
