From the Deputy Editor: Citrus trees

While my house does not boast a flourishing garden, I am fortunate enough to have a bountiful lemon tree a short walk from my kitchen.
I think all gardens should have a lemon tree - they're perfect for cooking and baking as well as refreshing drinks in summer.
If you're thinking of planting a citrus tree, now is the perfect time.
