Hi Burke
Hope your well, love your show but I don’t know when it’s on. I’m a passionate about my plants and I’m hoping you can help me. My newly planted lemon tree is looking pale and I worried it may die.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Many thanks
Michael

 

Answer:Hi Michael,  I am not sure what is happening – maybe leave it alone until Spring. Can you check if you have buried the original roots. The top of the original potting mix should be level with the garden soil.  You just might have loved the plant to death. Leave it alone.  Don
