My Lemon tree now has half a dozen Lemons at varying stages of ripeness, all are or should be ripe in a few weeks. Just curious as to how long they keep and whether i should leave them on the tree until i need them or pick and store to keep them fresher.

After a while, I found they declined on my tree if just left there so I would try to use them fresh within a reasonable time of them 1st ripening. Picking them will also encourage it flower again.
