Lemon Eureka

Lemon Eureka is one of the most reliable varieties of lemon , easy to grow and cropping very well .
Citrus are the gems of the heated greenhouse or conservatory provided a minimum winter temperature of 7 C can be maintained. We have trialed extensively with varieties outdoors in the UK. but as yet cannot recommend or advise this way of growing citrus, many customers in the London area and on the south coast are succeeding well, every garden has its own micro climate , you may well succeed but beware. I can only advise very free draining sites, on walls and plant in spring, to give the tree a chance to get established. The first year or so you may not see much growth as the tree put down roots .
They are not suited very well as house plants, requiring very good light and humidity, which can be difficult in a centrally heated house.

Planting and Potting
John Innes No3 with 25% extra grit or sharp sand is the ideal free draining medium for citrus. They can be planted in the greenhouse border enriching the soil with this mix, but be prepared if space is of issue they will be better controlled in a pot. Potted citrus can be stood outdoors form late May to early September, weather conditions will influence this. Never over pot, go up only a few sizes and only pot on in spring when the plant has started into active growth.
Ventilation
This is vital to healthy plants in any greenhouse or conservatory, should there be concerns an extractor fan may be of use, or place the plant outdoors.
Feeding and Watering
Keep citrus quite dry in winter (they hate sitting in wet compost).Be aware of when growth begins and start increasing the water so that the compost is moist, but if the new growth wilts and the plant has a dull appearance it tends to indicate it is too dry and it will tend to drop leaves if too wet or dry for a period of time while its actively growing. Rule of thumb- once a day in summer and once a fortnight in winter. As the plant starts to grow pot on then leave for six weeks before starting to feed once a week with Reads Plant Food. This will supply all the nutritional needs for the growing plant. Citrus do not need much feed in winter, as the temperature falls below 11.4C they stop growing and can become dormant.
Pruning
Pinch back strong growing branches over summer and remove many overcrowded stems in mid winter. Do not worry if this looks severe they will recover in spring. Citrus need strong short branches to support the weight of the fruits. Most varieties set too many fruit and they should be pinched out to one per small plant or as a guide 4 fruits to a medium sized bush. It must be said there is considerable value to the young plant if they do not produce fruit for a couple of years and used the time to establish as a strong young plant
