Lemon plants
 

Good Morning all

I have been thinking for ages about getting a lemon tree but did not fancy
paying out £15 and then killing it. I saw Wilko's had some for £3.99 and
thought that that would be a good test. Its only a little stem with a few
leaves.

I brought some citrus compost and am going to look into getting some feed
for it in a couple of weeks as when I went to the garden centre a lady said
it does not really need it until it gets bigger.

I know that lemon trees can take a while to flower and was wondering if this
one does survive, will it possibly flower later in life bearing in mind I
got it from wilkos... :) What age do they flower and produce fruit?

Thanks

Donna

Most plants from Wilkos are very good quality and cheap.
The only problem with their stuff is that they have a habit of giving no
name or a wrong name for plants. What variety of Lemon did you buy?
