Bush Lemon Tree (Seedling) ^1/10

Comments: -

Tried but DIED.

I still don't know what happened to my wee bahbee Bush Lemon. After my disappointment in my Finger Lime, a friend told me I had tried the wrong native citrus, and Bush Lemon was the way to go- like a normal lemon, but hardier in our heat.

It struggled from day one, and hated every single spot I put it in. Hated full sun, hated part sun, hated shade. Hated lots of water, hated barely moist, hated dry. Damn thing lasted a few months as a sickly looking thing, and then as soon as summer rolled around it just... died? Straight to dropping every leaf and becoming a dead stick.

I've since planted a few natives into the garden, and having learnt what I have about our natives and their soil needs, I'm actually wondering if my soil was too rich. I'd really like to try Bush Lemon again, but perhaps in the ground, and with minimal soil amendments. Maybe some more research is required?

Made me sad to lose this one. I plan to try again some day.

Bush Lemon Tree

Comments: -

No logical reason, all adjacent fruit trees are OK. Seemingly root disease.

Bush Lemon Tree

Comments: - I don't think soil is much good. We only have a very small yard. We have very clay soil.

Comments: -

I collected the seeds from a bush lemon that my mother brought over one day (from her neighbour's tree). I had given up on them coming up, and then at the first sign of warm weather, there they were!

Dwarf Lemon - Eureka (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Planted in November 2015.  Too young to review.

It's currently in full sun. I water almost daily depending on weather. I planted in a 75 litre planter bag with a BIG bottom layer of course grade pine bark then kind of equal amounts of good quality potty mix, coir peat, perlite and a shovel of organic pellets mixed through. A really good layer of small pine bark on top.

Dwarf Lemon - Eureka (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: - Espaliered. I like this more than the meyer as more like your tradional lemon. Not as bushy as other citrus (more strangly). Fruits throughout the year with a break in hottest part of summer.

Dwarf Lemon - Lisbon (Grafted) ^5/10

Comments: -

The fruit tastes well and it is small enough to grow in a pot on the patio

Fruit Harvest: 0.5 kilograms per Year

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Autumn and Spring

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Dynamic lifter

When I Fertilise: Spring

Pest Control:

Pest oil or milk for sooty mold

Question:

It is variegated, however a lot of the new growth reverts back to just green. As there isn't a lot of growth, i'm a bit worried that if I kept pruning the green growth off, there wouldn't be much left on the tree - the variegated branches don't seem to grow very vigorously at all :(
