Howdy all

the meyer lemon i bought yesterday was a little worse for wear (and thus was dirt cheap :D )

I removed the leaves affected by miner, cleaned down the remaining leaves with water and added dishsoap, sprayed with a 'natural' bug spray to rid it of the little aphid type bugs, repotted it, took it off the awful trellis that was keeping it stunted to half its size with the metal wires holding the stems in...it was in pretty crap condition! i have posted some pics below - firstly how it is growing now, then with a couple of close ups of the leaves still on it, then some of the leaves i removed.

there were 11 lemons on it - still green. i took them off - i think the plant is too small and young to support a crop safely. i harvested some of the pips - are they capable of growing even though the lemons werent ripe? just on the offchance :)

only left with a few curled leaves and brown/yellow tips now, so if you think its best to just let it grow now thats great, or if you have any suggestions, just let me know :D

thanks all!
