Lots A Lemon Tree

Colourful starts with ... My tree is in a 30cm pot and has lots of flowers. I've covered it with tuille from Spotlight to keep the possums off it at night as they ate the flowers last year. This small tree has curly leaf; does this affect the fruit?	About the Author Colourful Highett, Vic 23rd October 2014 10:07pm #UserID: 4213 Posts: 3 View All Colourful's Edible Fruit Trees

Brain says... Lots of lemon is a challenging citrus to look after, they do over flower and if the nutrients requirements are not exactly right, they wont hold fruit for long. Good luck and hopefully at late summer/early autumn, you get to taste your own fruit. I've had successes with lisbon, eureka and fino (Daley), but lots of lemon has eluded my 'greatness'. Lol!

jakfruit etiquette says... Leaf curling/leaf miner reduces the photosynthetic area of the leaf, it will stunt/slow small plants and reduce ability to carry fruit. Removing the affected leaves will have a worse result. Another leaf curling pest of Citrus are caterpillars that thread the leaf closed to hide.

Boris Spasky says... It is highly unlikely in Melbourne at this time of the year for CLM to be active and damaging spring growth. More probable is aphids or other issues.	About the Author Boris Spasky 4th November 2014 11:00pm #UserID: 7085 Posts: 184 View All Boris Spasky's Edible Fruit Trees
