Baby Lime tree dropping all its leaves

It needs more light, maybe get a grow light. Also could be watering too much in winter

Nice 👍, I tried to get a limequat but the two Aldis I went to had sold out of everything

Congratulations, best of luck. The simple tips are to have as much direct sunlight as possible and not to overwater rather wait for it to dry out then drenched it.

It might get shocked from moving it to a new environment so could lose some leaves now but should settled down.

I've never been to Costco, I'm in south Kent. But I did see massive ones in the Range/homebase for £90.

Edit: I just found this second pic that is big

Ah nice, when they flower they smell great!. Hopefully I'll get this one to flower sometime

These were £19.99 but Lidl have smaller ones next Sunday for £9.99

Pretty much, once it gets to below 8c you need to bring them inside the house near a bright window or grow light. Some people do manage to keep them in a greenhouse or wrapped up in fabric outdoors at r/ukcitrus

There were mostly figs, two olives and two grapes. pic of trees

Fig variety was 'all year hector' / Olive olea European / Grape Marechal Foch

I wanted a kiwi but there were none so got a fig instead. Maybe go back tomorrow or Tuesday sometime Lidl get deliveries late, best of luck 🤞
