Lemons

My lemon tree is covered in this black sooty like stuff? What is it and how do I get rid of it?

The leaves on my 2-year-old lemon tree appear to have a yellow hue and subsequently dropped off. There are lemons still blossoming but I’m concerned about how to promote the growth of future leaves. 

Would we be able to grow a lemon tree outside in Dunedin successfully? What would we be have to do? We live on the hillside near Anderson’s Bay.

After transferring my lemon plant to another sunny spot, the whole plant started to shed its leaves leaving only the flowering buds. What should I do?

My Meyer lemon tree has lost most of it leaves, but has plenty of flowers. In June, I put compost around the top. What else should I add to give it a big boost?

I am having great difficulties with growing lemon trees in Karori. I have used all sorts of products, but my poor lemon tree will not produce any lemons. What can I do?

I am growing a lemon tree in a pot but it hasn’t been doing very well. Should I be fertilising more regularly? It is potted into compost. Is this ok or does it need potting mix?

We’ve recently bought a house in Dunedin and bought a variety of plants for the garden, one of which is a lemon tree. Where would be the best place to plant it?

I love my lemon tree but always seem to get this black blight over the lemons. How can I best deal with this?

Can you successfully grow a lemon tree in a big planter pot? How do you look after it and also are there plants/herbs that can be grown in the same container?
