Answer 1

From a gardening website:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a well established lemon tree that is well drained that has had a great fruit set with normal looking lemons. The inside of the fruit this year is dry and pithy. What have I neglected? Scottsdale weather and additional water as needed.
