We have a large lemon tree on the property we have been living in for just over a year that might have had 500 lemons on it by late winter. We have been trying to give a bunch away, but there still might be around 200–250, and it is now summer in our part of the world. Should we try to get these off asap to help the tree out so it can fruit well again, or does it make no difference? Can having this many fruits harm a tree?
