Seed-Grown Lemon Tree: Fruiting Unlikely in Nebraska

Bobbi's 14-foot lemon tree from seed (7-8 years) in Nebraska hasn't fruited. Brought indoors each winter.

Why It Won't Fruit

• Seed-grown citrus rarely flowers/fruits. Cultivated fruit seeds often sterile.
• Requires year-round direct sun—impossible in Nebraska winters.
• Flowers need hand pollination for fruit set.

Realistic Perspective

Enjoy as impressive foliage specimen. 14 feet from seed is remarkable achievement. Lesson: lemons grow in FL/CA, not NE. You're not doing anything wrong.
