Q.Lemon Tree Loosing Leaves

Zone LE15 7LG Oakham | Anonymous added on April 27, 2022 | Answered

I have had my Lemon tree 6 or 7 years. It lives in my conservatory. This year lots of blossom and lots of tiny lemons, there is new growth of young leaves. But it is loosing quite a lot of big leaves and some still on the tree are going curly. Does it want repotting?

It looks like it needs to be pruned, and if it has never been repotted, that will help, if only to refresh the soil. Also, the different sized leaves could mean you are getting suckers from the rootstalk that need to be removed These articles should help:
