Lemon Bonsai, from seed. 6

[@sueb1317]

Very pretty! The lemon tree is bouncing back nicely after the repot and hard pruning. Nice to see all the new options coming up. The leaves remind me of laurel a bit, but then there are those thorns...

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Cheers Sue :) yeah it seems a lot happier now ... and those thorns are no joke!

[@jarheadbonsai]

The roots were wild!!! Always nice to have a citrus hanging around. Developing nicely broski. Cheers 😎🍺🍺

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Very nice! What soil mix do you use?

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Cheers :) its pretyty much equal parts molar clay, perlite and compost (mostly ericaceous compost for that acidity)

I've been told that yellow leaves on lemon trees is a sign of fertilizer deficiency....

[@BackGardenBonsai]

indeed, but that's not the only cause.
