Perrine Lemon Tree Claims Record Yield With Fertilization
Cultural and fertilization methods for Perrine lemons produce jumbo fruit with heavy nitrate fertilization and irrigation. A DeSoto City tree, 2 years 11 months old, bore 200 to 300 lemons in its second year and now holds 1086 lemons in all stages. Experts claim the Barrow tree sets a profitable record, while lower nitrogen and higher potash feeding yields small pony fruit. US demand peaks May to October with California and Italy supplying November to June.
