The care secret that transformed my Lemon Tree

I'd had Lemon Tree for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

blossom spectacle in spring before any other ornamental value became much more pronounced. The plant in a specimen tree as a garden focal point now looks like a completely different specimen. blossom opening in spring requiring frost protection confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. biennial bearing producing a heavy crop every other year has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Lemon Tree is underwhelming, look at mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds first.
