Removing immature fruit from lemon tree?
I have a small lemon tree in a container. It flowered well and now has many small fruits developing some of which are clustered. The lemons are growing very slowly and there’s little chance they’ll reach a reasonable size by the autumn – doubtless due to the poor summer. Should I remove some of the clustered fruits from a bunch to enable one lemon to mature fully and would relocating the tree into the greenhouse help?

yes reduce the number of fruits and yes pop it in the greenhouse for the winter.

Ditto what sbg said and maybe give it a bit of heat in the greenhouse (if you have a heater) ,and maybe one or two of the fruits will ripen.
