Bush Lemon Tree

Citrus Splitzer - lemon/lime

Comments: -

One of the grafts seems much more vigorous than the other (not sure which yet). It's also helped by the fact there are 2 grafts of one and only 1 of the other.

Spring 2011: Covered in flowers and just starting to grow teeny tiny fruit.

About a month after this  I decided to get rid of the fruit. There was just so much and I thought that it was a bad idea to leave them all. It didn't seem to like that and suddenly dropped all of its leaves. There are teeny tiny new shoots appearingon some of the branches (mostly on one graft not the other). No idea what I did wrong - I am SURE there was enough food, I am sure it wasn't too wet or too dry. I am hoping that it was a sunlight issue so I have moved into a sunnier spot.

Summer 2012: First day of the new year and I have noticed new shoots on the bare branches. I think that the weather has just started to warm up enough for it to get going again. Catch is that I think they shoots might actually be flowers not leaves. What is it thinking? All I can do is keep an eye on it and keep reminding my man to help fertilise!

Double grafted lemon/lime (Grafted) ^6/10

We don't have a lot of room at our place, so the idea of a double grafted tree was attractive, although it was an expensive tree. It also looks nice with the different foliage and flowers on the one tree

lemon - lemonade (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: -

2011: My mum purchased this lemon 'lemonade' variety a very long time ago. The flavors of this particular variety is amazing! It is not sour like the other variety but rather sweet. I love it so much that I took a cutting from my mum's mature tree 8 years ago. My 15cm cutting is now 1.5 high, currently it has 5 large fruits and hundreds of flowers. For a long while, we neglected it. We didn't water it, didn't feed it and yet it contines to flower and fruit for us. It is truely a hardy lemon tree with spectacular tasting fruit. I love it and recommend everyone to suss one out.

2012: This year, the plant went crazy and every single branch is covered in tiny marble sized fruits! I gave the tree a watering of Iron Chelate in the begining of every new season and just recently feed it some citrus fertiliser.
