Lemon Trees

[pinkerton]

Are lemon trees deciduous, or is my wife's specimen dying?

[boxtops]

when I had one as an indoor plant, it kept its leaves.

[pinkerton]

Why haven't you got it now, Boxy?

[woofgang]

they shed their dead leaves one or two at a time. If the whole tree is shedding, its not good.

[boxtops]

It died, I overwatered it :-(

Do they have deciduous trees in those hot climes where snow is hardly known ?

[hammerman]

Citrus are evergreen. They may however, shed the odd leaf, especially when the day length and temperatures drop

Mine has lost all its leaves so I cut back to see if there was any green, but I am sure it is dead and I am gutted. Has been in the conservatory all winter but haven't a clue why it died. Will leave it for a while in case I see some life but really don't think I will.
