Lemon trees need to be monitered constantly because they produce fruit year round. To figure out if a lemon is ready to be picked, pinch the lemons on the tree gently but firmly. It should ideally be hard because if the lemon is squishy then you have waited too long. If the lemon gives at all under your fingers, then you need to pick it right away.
Next, measure the diameter. A lemon that is ready to be picked should be about two to three inches in diameter. If a lemon is too small leave it on the tree a day or so more and keep a close eye on it. You don't want to let it hang too long because small lemons will have thinner skin and be juicier than larger ones.
Lemons should not be eaten right from the tree because when they are picked they should still be somewhat green. The lemon will ripen and turn yellow after it has been pulled from the tree. If you see a lemon getting too yellow you should take it from the tree right away.
You don't want lemons to stay on the tree too long because they will get very large, misshapen, and turn brown.
