Hello,
My lemon tree has suddenly started dropping dozens of leaves. It is in a
slightly heated conservatory (never below 5) and has been inside since
October. It has just started dropping perfectly health green leaves. Any
ideas what might be wrong or what I might do? I don't see any signs of any
bugs.

At a guess you're watering it too often. Don't water it until it's just
about bone dry and then let it drain well. Wet, cold roots will kill it
very quickly. We get lemon trees brought back which you could nearly wring
out because people just won't stop 'coddling' them! ;-) The Meyer's lemon we
have is in a small conservatory and it only gets watered if someone happens
to remember to do it, even in the hottest weather. We regularly pick lemons
for our g&t from it and it's a very happy bunny! ;-)
