Key Lime Irregularly Producing Fruit from Year to Year

Q. I
have a key lime tree that’s 4 years old.  The first year it was full
of fruit.  The next 2 years no fruit, then this year only 3-4
limes.  My neighbor has a regular lime tree full of fruit. 
What’s wrong?

A. Freezing temperatures in the
spring. If you have several light freezes that go through the valley in the
spring you will have no citrus fruit. If you have one freeze that goes through
the valley in the spring you will have some fruit.
