Hi

I know its been mentioned in a post lower down but I have the same problem of fruits falling before they're mature. Also they have lots of pith and hardly any flesh. Last year they went yellow and fell off at half an inch diameter but this year there has been a small improvement to 2 inch diameter before going pale yellow and dropping. It is high summer in Spain (Zone 9b - 10a) now and pretty hot. The 4 ft plant is containerised (40cm pot) and stays out in sheltered courtyard all winter. It get watered regularly and fed with proprietary citrus feed from early spring. It has dark green glossy leaves and is otherwise very healthy

Does anyone know what causes this?

Thanks in advance
