Hi ,I think there are tiny shoots on all the branches when I look very close and still a lot of buds left after a gale. I was afraid to take my tree out of the pot to dry it so I left the pot in the sun 25c and let it dry out now I am looking very close every day at these shoots .
I have another ? I have a small ledge on a corner of two walls that gets full sun in the summer of 35c to 40c and I would like to grow a small pot of something but have no idea as this heat is new to me
thank you Morinja

Great news about your lemon tree. 
As to what to grow in a small pot with those temps and full sun, you would need something that won't need much water. I'd suggest some type of cactus or succulent. 40*C is 104*F. I get you as hardiness zone 10 if I remember correctly. Think about sempervivum, aoenium, etc. Many of these are rare, but will give you ideas.

Hi again Newt thank you for the site,I have had a look and will be looking in my garden centre at succulents they are so interesting in colour and shapes I have several in pots near my water fall with lava rocks around , I am getting into this hot weather gardening and have been buying unusual colours and shaped succulents and never thought about one for the wall, and now I can look up all the names with the site you gave me. Today I have four leaves about a quarter inch long on lemon tree !
thank you Morinja

Morinja, thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm so glad you found those pics helpful. It's wonderful to get the feedback. I'd love to see some pictures of what you choose.
I'm cheering on your lemon tree!

Hi Newt well things are going well for my lemon tree , after a big gale all the old leaves dropped off and it looked so sad but now when I look close all the branches have tiny little leaves on no blossom left but I am happy to see it growing and I did have one tiny lemon until it blew off in the wind I will post some photos when my husband can show me how to do it

I thought about your tree the other day when I answered another question about lemon trees. At least the wind took care of cleaning away the old leaves. I hope your husband can show you how to post the pictures. That would be great.
