Limes and Lemons

[Sheal]

An in-law of my son's is having problems with these fruiting. She lives in North Carolina. The plants are in large pots and this year they are producing flowers and fruit but the fruit, although healthy, drops before maturing. Any idea what is wrong please?

Lack of pollination

Lack of pollination

My first thought.

I see bees all the time at my winter squash plants but still some flowers just do not get pollinated by a pollinator.

Thank you Chuck and Yum Yum.

What variety of lime and lemon?

My Myer Lemon and Key Lime are doing the same because of the extreme humidity and 108 heat index, and we're having a lot of rain. The sudden changes in environment will do it. It went from a month of no rsin ( I did water it) to rain every day for a week.
