Genus: Citrus

Are you using citrus fertilizer? And if you are and have it in a pot I would use 1/4 the amount of fertilizer and only at the edge the pot.

All I can tell you is the tree had a card on it when I bought it from the garden centre some 18 months ago. The card said 'Limone Citrus Limon. Throughout the winter it was in a fairly warm shed and then brought out this year after the frost had cleared. The tree has three lemons on it from last year but I am not sure if these should now be cut off!
Hopefully you can view the picture attached.

Many thanks

Hi Jass, Why don't you tell us a bit more about the tree species which is growing in your patio. Is it in a pot? Is it a fruit tree, ornamental tree or what kind? A photo of it would also be a great help for the advisors here. See you soon.

Thank you Lorraineagle. We had quite a few a month or so ago but unfortunately we've finished the lot! They were delicious and nothing better than picking them fresh from the tree.

Ours come in a box at Christmas time....how great to be able to grow them. You have a wonderful garden :)

very nice

Very true, and they are so delicous. But then.....I can't grow blue berries, raspberries, which I love too.

Well, I would like toast and butter too! But yes, you are right, nothing like fresh fruit and vegies ( the last I haven't got ).

Lovely to go out and pick your own breakfast!

Well, DEFINITELY can't grow these in Somerset, Marguerite! Enjoy... :-)

love ur picture!!!

great picture

Beat me to it Mike!. avocadoes and Grapefruit, too. You obviously give your plants a lot of TLC...so continue to do so...and give your lemon as much sun as you can manage...hope it blooms for you...they smell wonderful.

What a fantastic picture. It would look good framed in someone's kitchen!

Your lemon looks very healthy. I enjoy starting plants like this. I recently potted an avocado and the leaves are just starting to form. Very enjoyable to watch them grow.
