    I have nursed this through the winter in my conservatory. It flowered well and has produced an abundance of lemons. They grow in big clusters. I note some of the small lemons are falling off. I did repot it to a slightly larger pot. I also wonder if I over watered it a bit this past couple of weeks. Does anyone know anything about these fussy plants?

    It was dry. I took the plunge. Watered and gave it some iron. It is smiling now:)
    If anyone is interested:p

    I have 29 lemons on this little tree and more to come:)

    Hiya Granny.
    I have a Citrus Limon and a Meyers Lemon, according to the labels that is. Both have flowered very well this summer (summer?) and set loads of tiny fruit. Can we compare notes please?
    On the Meyers Lemon very new growth is aubergine coloured, but soon turns green, and the flower buds are radish coloured, but turn white when really open. On the Citrus Limon new growth is green, and the flower buds are white and stay white when open. How does this compare with yours? I only ask because I see lemon trees in garden centres that don't agree with mine.
    Some of the tiny lemons are falling off, but a good quantity are fattening up nicely.

    Nik
