Lemon Tree Care / health
« on: November 02, 2016, 13:27. »
Can anyone give advice.

We have a lemon tree in a good sunny spot (in the ground) not overwatered and getting the right citrus fertaliser throughout the year.

Had a few good crops and earlier this year good blossom and robust growth

However, since the summer have had a fair bit of leaf drop and the fruit hasnt done well at all.

I have sprayed the tree a couple of times with the anti fungal and anti mirador sprays as a combo (smells like Jeyes) but I now have a rust like (fungus) on the leaves and on the now very stunted fruit.

Any ideas of cause and remedy ?

After experiencing similar problems myself Rich my advice would be to plant a flowering shrub and buy your lemons from Mercadona
If no advice is forthcoming I would recommend going to a decent garden centre, say Christians, with a fruit and a few leaves in a plastic bag and ask their advice
