Couple of these are actually yellow. I figured they would start green and then turn yellow???

Odd. Mine were green for a long time, as they grew bigger. Only turned yellow when they ripened. (took awhile). Are they rotting, or about to drop off?

There are only 2 bigger ones but they are still small. Not sure how big they get but the one bigger one is only the size of a strawberry. Not rotting or about to fall off. Very ripe.

Is it a dwarf?

Those yellow ones are probably about to drop off. My lemon routinely produces more fruitlets than it can actually support, and winds up dropping a good chunk of them. They turn yellow when they're about that size, the stem dries, and they drop.

I think I did see a small yellow one on the ground.

You encouraged me to grow a Citrus [ Khaimraj - brother-in-law to Anthony ]
The Portugal is our small of leaf citrus and the fruit is edible and peels
by hand.

That's from K.
Good Day
Anthony

* Please keep up the good work!

That's great. I bet between your knowledge and where you live it will grow real well.

I haven't re searched what to do with a lemon tree in Texas this winter. All new to me for sure. Need to read up on it.

Here, I have to bring the citrus in for the winter, which surprisingly they don't object to very much.
