I really wasn't going to buy any more as I have struggled to keep a Grapefruit and a Lemon tree alive for 3/4 years now. They both finally snuffed it over winter this year...but I found a lovely little Clementine in the Houseplant section of the GC today...and I had a voucher to spend........it was a little bit poorly looking so I persuaded the very nice lady to knock it down from £35 to £10! Coincidentally the exact amount value of the voucher....... ;D
Anyway I stood it in a bucket of water all afternoon and it has revived magically - I don't think anyone had watered it for days and days.....I shall repot in some citrus compost and hope it continues to improve - anyone got any hot tips for a wonderful crop of Clementines this summer.....

Wow you lucky thing ;D I have just recently bought a Lemon tree from Aldi £12 but Im a bit puzzled as it says for decoration only and the lemons on the label look normal! I had a Calamondi orange (make that 2) which I have a small pathetic remnant left ie; one twiggy branch with a couple of leaves!! I am a bit heavy handed with the secatuers. Where are you putting it 4Ps I have mine in our small conservatory but I will be putting them out for the summer to fend for themselves while were away.  |
