Answer
There are a few environmental factors that will cause lemons to be dry. One is water stress. If the trees were not irrigated enough during the growing season, the tree will pull moisture out of developing fruits in order to keep the leaves healthy. Another is cold damage. When ripe or ripening lemons are exposed to freezing or frosty conditions, the moisture in the fruit dissipates. The most common reason for dry fruit is that the ripe lemons are left on the tree too long. Hope that helps!
