Probably not the right N/G since we are in New Zealand, but the closest I
can find quickly....

We have just bought a new house with a lemon tree in the garden. However
it
only produces very pithy, dry lemons (though lots of them). What can I do
to
improve the quality of the crop??

I have tried a heavy dose of fertiliser (citrus mix) and put more water
into
the root zone, but response is slow at best.

Our climate is cool - summer up to 25 degrees, winter down to -5, but it
is
in a very sheltered area right under the house. The soil is a loose
friable
silt.


TIA
