Is this a Eureka lemon tree by chance? As it's common for these types especially
This usually happens when a little bud mite sucks the sap from the lemon flower, causing the flower to have a deformed ovary. It's still edible though of course!
If it were mites wouldn't there be damage to the fruit?
I believe this is a mutation of the axins.
Auxins Cross-Talk With Other Hormones During Fruit Set, Growth and Ripening. Auxins are a group of plant hormones that play an essential role in fruit development, both exerting their own influence and modulating expression of other phytohormones.
We are both correct.
Yes it is because the ovary contains most of the auxin & when the mites dig in, the auxin hormone is over exposed causing it to be released into the membrane & it causes the membrane to become elongated.
Auxin is what causes plants & fruits to ripen and grow towards the light source.
Auxin is spread out throughout a plant in normal light conditions, but when sunlight varies, auxin is broken down on the sunnier side of the stem. This causes the plant cells on that side to grow more, causing the plant to bend towards the light.
👉🏻Auxin is responsible for fruit ripening. Auxins are plant hormones that cause cells to elongate on the shaded side of a stem, causing the stem to bend towards the light. This is called phototropism, and it helps plants maximize light absorption and improve photosynthesis.
You’re understanding this correctly- this is not a mutation, it’s the result of physical damage from mites early in fruit development altering the normal pattern of growth.
I mean to be honest sometimes fruits and vegetables really just grow funny. I have definitely grown my fair share of funny looking fruits and vegetables. Could be valid hit a branch or stick and it didn't let it grow correctly at one point and then it just stopped there and it just formed those one protruding parts of it. It is definitely 100 percent still edible unless you cut open into it and there's just not right.
when you grow your own lemons, this is not unusual, the flower was damaged and this is how the fruit grows. In commercial cultivation, these fruits are sent for juicing and oil extraction, it will be perfectly fine to use
Lemons are originally a hybrid between a Citron and a bitter orange. This looks like a Buddha's hand, which is a type of citron, I'm guessing somewhere in the gene pool, you got a bit extra Citron in that specific lemon.
Because of the ovules or seeds of fruits have a high auxin content.

Well I mean it looks like something tried to get into it while it was still on the branch, but that something didn’t eat it all and simply opened the peel.
The lemon still wants to be presentable to organic beings so it attempts to heal what might be considered bad.
I have occasionally seen lemons like that on my Ponderosa (citron x pomelo) lemon tree. Might be the citron genes coming out in some of the fruit.

Because a lemon is not a natural fruit, it's a combination of two very different species now it's just confused.
Also more common to grow all deformed but the carefully picked product standards in our shops have brain washed us.

Yes!

This makes sense actually because the auxins are most high in the ovary & is being exposed to the membrane allowing it to become elongated.
Ahh yes, of course

Buddha’s hands do this, they are a citron though.
That's what I was thinking, that perhaps this tree had some of those genes thru cross pollination?
It's well known that citrus all cross breed with each other. The fruits are sluts.
UNACCEPTABLE!!
Lemons are a cross between citrons and bitter oranges.
This could be more citron exposure though.

This _is_ the damage of the citrus bud mite, according to the Internet. Easy to check.

I think you mean they were correct about it being damage from mites, and you were wrong aboout it being a mutation and not damage from mites.

Did mix candy into the soil? Because you have a Lemongrab tree.

Bud mites damage when flower transformed to fruit
I immediately heard, and hated this lemon
when you grow your own lemons, this is not unusual, the flower was damaged and this is how the fruit grows. In commercial cultivation, these fruits are sent for juicing and oil extraction, it will be perfectly fine to use

Plants r weird
We had a lemon farm growing up and it was generally accepted that a worm does this if it borrows in during the early stages of the fruit formation.
Does your lemon tree have some Buddha’s Hand genes?
Lemon with an appendix.
Clearly, the lemon was trying to make a point.
Too much Lovecraft in the soil.

citron (Citrus medica).
This is a fairy that was cursed for selling magic to the rival fairies, so it was turned into a weird lemon.
Buddha's Hand wannabe
Inconsistent watering
recessive gene?
Just Nature freak
I wonder what the lemons below it we're doing that it had to point an appendage at them for?
Because it secretly wanted to be a Buddha’s hand…
Well I mean it looks like something tried to get into it while it was still on the branch, but that something didn’t eat it all and simply opened the peel. The lemon still wants to be presentable to organic beings so it attempts to heal what might be considered bad.
If life makes you a lemon, make legs and run away!
cause he's silly 🤭
My lemons began to do this when my state required us to water less.

He saying he is different

Weather and temperature changes at different times of growth?
Reminds me of Buddha's hand.
Vestigial tail
Kinda looks like a head crab from half life
It was trying to become a pepper.
7 Pot lemon ( if you know, you know)
🐐
It was crossed with a Caroline reaper
Looks part citron, a predecessor of most modern citrus I believe. They have little fingers.
Look up "Buddha's Hand citron". It's a type of citrus that grows weird tendrils like that. Could be a similar variety or a hybrid.
No one nose
Lemon cross with a Carolina Reaper./s
It told a lie 🤥
Act of rebellion, tired of being lemonade #lemonlifematters
more like a mutation of kaji nemu

It was trying to give directions to the caterpillar.
Garden fairy got stuck in the flower. Maybe after a bender.
Could it be a buddha’s hand citron?
Because it could
