Hi Kate

I am in Perth and have a mature Tahitian Lime, about 12 years old by now.
They can be temperamental buggers and drop leaves and/or fruit crop on a
whim. Mine is currrently covered in leaf and fruit.

They are voracious feeders and like water - could yours be suffering from
lack of water - if it is in a pot it will be stressed - they need dirt and
lots of it.

Hope that helps,

Joanne

We have a Tahitian lime, about 4 years old.
It has been dropping leaves over the last month or so, and is about 50% bare
now.
Has some small fruit and a little new growth appearing.
Is it normal to drop so many leaves?

Thanks
Kate
