And we hardly water it! Never cut it back either. But it comes back every time once it's warm enough to go outside - as soon as any risk of frost is over. This has been going on for 6 years, we had two lemons to speak of, loads of beautiful blossoms but I am beginning to find it rather well, uneventful for a lemon tree. Still, you would not want to kill it.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-10669550104981981702015-02-13T18:31:00.446+00:002015-02-13T18:31:00.446+00:00Awesome VWAwesome VWutahDOG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04574614138539392895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-37227360878605034632015-02-13T18:01:12.941+00:002015-02-13T18:01:12.941+00:00Needs to be dry to touch before watering.

The leaves will wilt when it needs water and then perk right back up. It might survive in warm sunny window.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-39248630409552383112015-02-13T16:33:17.600+00:002015-02-13T16:33:17.600+00:00I do hope that your tree survives it's drownin...I do hope that your tree survives it's drowning, I have done that with azaleas, they do not resurrect. Sad- not as sad as accidentally killing a pet, that I have done and the deep anguish does not subside. So sorry about your little tree. <br />Good choice on the art!
