Have you checked your lemon tree?
If you have a lemon tree or any citrus trees, you must keep an eye on the leaves - especially new leaves, as this is when that greedy caterpillar appears and can cause immense damage as he munches his way through the leaves getting bigger by the day.
Once this caterpillar has reach full size, it is quite beautiful as well as scary to look at.
If you check the leaves often, you can spot the babies and just squash them while they are very small.
Here is a squashed one.
New blossoms appearing - heavenly scents!
Small lemons now formed.
Oh those new blossoms look beautiful! I've never seen a lemon tree before.
And look at those little lemons starting to develop! I wish I had a permanent and heated greenhouse! I'd love to grow citrus... of any kind! Lemons, tangerines, oranges, grapefruit!
Lemon trees are wonderful and so useful for cooking and so many other uses - also the leaves can be used to replace a bay leaf in recipes.
