Comments (4)rhizo is correct in his thinking that the present container is more than big enough. When you first planted the tree in the whiskey barrel I assume that the potting soil you used filled the barrel to the top. Looking at the pictures, the soil has now compacted down four or five inches. As container soil degrades it compacts, and as it compacts the soil greatly loses porosity, thus the available soil oxygen becomes drastically reduced, and then many problem will begin to show. Miracle Grow potting soil is famous for compaction. Presently your tree looks healthy enough, but you need to keep an eye on it in the coming year. As far as the blooms and young fruitlets falling from the tree that is completely normal. A small tree the size of your lemon, usually only retain very few fruits. Only 2 - 5 percent of the blooms a citrus tree produces will ever become fruit, and then only 2-3 percent of the new fruit will ever remain on the tree to become mature. I don't think there is anything presently wrong with your tree....See MoreCan anyone help me identify my banana tree?

Comments (4)I’m not sure if you posted a pic, I couldn’t see one buttttt. You’re in a desert and citrus trees need a lot of sun and water. You’re not in it’s ideal living situation. It’s most likely that it’s getting too much sun and not enough water. I live in Florida and we had an issue with ours not producing lemons. Our lawn company told us to basically drown it and the shake the crap out if it and beat the branches with a broom. This might sound like a joke but this stimulates a hurricane/wind which causes the tree to go into fight or flight mode. Ultimately giving it the urge to hunker down and reproduce....See MoreLars
