Oh dear. I totally failed my duty of care for this poor fellow this winter. He somehow got stuck in a corner of my tiny conservatory and I neglected to water him enough. Serious TLC is needed. I’ve already removed the dead leaves (there were lots) and the obviously dead twigs – anything that doesn’t look like it will sprout again. He’s had a good water and is now in the sunniest corner of the garden. In a week or so I’ll add some citrus fertiliser and maybe re-pot with plenty of drainage and a little bit of manure.

I’ll be revisiting the poor chap over the months to see whether he can be revived, along with everything I try.

BTW I don’t actually know his name. It’s a citrus beginning with M, has little (edible but horrid) orange fruits about the size of kumquats, but I’ve lost the label. If I find it, I’ll post it here. In the meanwhile, this is hospital corner.

I’m delighted to say the citrus continues to do well. It’s got new leaves coming (though not at the lower end yet) and it has a mass of flowers:
