    Thanks Italophile.Yeah, drainage is good now but last summer when we had a lot of rain in August/September the pot was for some of that time in a saucer.  I think it probably got too wet, which may be the root of the problem.

    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

    A-ha! That wouldn't have helped. I never use saucers for that reason. And raise my pots off the ground on bricks to make sure.

    That is interesting that you never use sauces for lemons in Italy!  I will follow your example.

    Not just lemons, I don't use them for any pots. A pot sitting in a saucer full of water is a pot that can't drain properly.
