I have a 20 year old lemon tree that I sprouted from seed in a container. After about 10 years it started to flower, usually in April, before I bring it outside for the summer. I have not had any flowers for at least the last 5 years. I read up a bit about how to promote/provoke flowering, which seemed to indicate that the trees should go through a cold and drought for 60 days, which I tried this winter. Still no flowers. I did get blossoms in June one year, though that was a secondary flowering for that year.
Any suggestions? The tree is in NY, so that means from Nov-May it is indoors. Once outside, the tree is in full sunlight for several hours each day.
Thanks in advance.
