The state of my lemon tree – it makes me so sad that my lemon tree is in such a poor state. Everything else in my garden appears to be doing well, the plants seem happy, all spouting new growth and some have new flowers. But the Lemon Tree …
As you can see she doesn’t look good. We’ve sprayed, we’ve mulched, we’ve fertilised … now we wait.
“Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat“.
Off to the nursery to get Nasturtiums …
* Chorus of “Lemon Tree” by Peter, Paul & Mary.
One reply on “Lemon tree woes”
Shame – your poor lemon tree! I know how you feel. It is a great disappointment when you see the one plant that is not thriving in the garden. I’m certain that with all your love, it will spring back to life!! And with the added bonus of Nasturtiums (they can grow like weeds!) helping you with your pest battle, your lemon tree “very pretty” she will be! Keep me posted.
