    er... excellent!  If it's growing a new leaf it must be alive image

    Well that's a good sign!

    If those tiny blisters enlarge you will need a copper sulphate treatment as it could be citrus canker. The yellow circle then gets a brown centre So  do keep an eye on those leaf blisters Lavande. Fingers crossed for you it isn't canker brewing.

    Weekly Citrus feed, rose feed or Vitax seaweed will nourish and strengthen but don't over water. Good Luck

    Sorry to bump this back up but I just want to say thank you!!! for all your help and advice - and laughs - subtle as they were Steve image.  I have googled copper sulphate Marinelilium and will try to buy some 'bordeaux mix' to have on standby - I don't have the wherewithall to make it myself as some sites suggest. I am learning a lot from having this tiny little lemon tree.  It is looking quite stable at the moment - so hopefully it is a case of onwards and upwards as Philippa says.image
