Hello (sorry I deleated my last question as I was advised to remove my email -- so here it is again) My son gave me a lemon tree for Mothers Day and I am anxious to keep it alive and well!! -- It is 80cms high and is in a 20cms pot -- already it has five yellow lemons growing on it although they are not firm -- a bit squashy -- it seemed a little dry so I gave it a little drink not too much -- I have a greenhouse (not heated) at the moment it is still in the house
Many thanks

These plants can be stood outside during the summer months, once risk of frost is past, but without a long hot summer and a mild region of the country, will not crop. There are specific instructions for plants that you would like to produce a crop - Google 'growing lemon trees' and select any of the several references which crop up, but the Daily Telegraph one is quite useful.
