Fruits and Nuts: Lemon Tree Blossoms Don't Form Fruit; Just Drop, 1 by ahaddock

Hi,

I have a lemon tree that has a nice profusion of blossoms; however, the blossoms show no inner signs of emerging fruit, and will ultimately drop off the tree. Tree is fertilized regularly and I think we're doing a good job in not overwatering. Last year it was subject to a pretty severe leaf miner infestation, but we fought that by spraying, and then setting out baited leaf miner traps. This year I also put Tanglefoot to keep the ants off (well, more importantly to keep the ants from inadvertently helping their little Scale friends). Overall the tree looks much improved this year in terms of new leaves. I don't know what type of lemon tree this is (Eureka, Lisbon, etc., but it has alot of thorns).
Thanks!
