My Lemon Tree and why it hates me.
I planted a lemon tree in the backyard of our new house back in Feb
'04 and it told me it didn't like this fact my dropping most of it's leaves (about 90% of them) I puzzled over this fact for a few months as I thought I was doing everything right, until somebody mentioned that it might be getting to much water. They suggested that I dig it up and raise it above the ground a little higher than it was. They also mentioned that this might kill the tree, but believe me it was living on borrowwed time anyway so I thought it would not hurt to try. Now for the question - what color are the buds for a lemon tree? About 3 weeks after replanting the tree it started sprouting little purple "buds" or at least I think that is what they are. They are getting bigger and more common so I assume that is what they are. What can I do for my tree now to make sure it lives over the summer??? I'm located in Melbourne. |

The flower buds on my Meyer lemon start out purple. cheers, Marj -- Mediterranean Garden Advice and Shop: http://stores.tiefert.com/garden/ Also: http://www.mindspring.com/~mtiefert/...gardening.html In Sunset zone 14-mild |
What can I do for my tree now to make sure it lives over the summer??? Sometimes it better to replace an ailing tree than persist with a sick one the long term results are much better. Citrus need good drainage, feed young trees with fish emulsion, mulch well. HTH |
