citrus fertilizer

  Two years ago I invested in a special double pack of citrus fertilizer (tub each of summer and winter feed) for my lemon tree. Unfortunately the said tree died after only using it once ( nothing to do with the fertilizer, got caught by the frost). My question is does anyone know what else I can use this particular fertilizer on as it was quite expensive.
  
  I have a lot of azaleas, clematis, roses as well as a fruit and veg plot, would it be any use on any of these?

  It depends on the NPK ratio of your specific fertilizer - they do vary. I doubt that it'll be enough for roses or clematis, as they are greedy feeders.

  I keep my lemon tree oiutside during the summer and put in greenhouse in winter. It prefers greenhouse but in b oth places it gets a lot of scale insects.
  I get lemons forming but they dont get very big and one of them whilst in greenhouse had some sort of worm in it.
  I noticed recently in Californias lots of front gardens had lemon trees laden with fruit., if on ly we could have that.
  
  Maybe you could swap your citrus fertilizer with someone else who has a lemon tree.

  ·¡±áÌý Thanks for you reply. I had trouble with scale on my lemon tree too even though I carefully wiped it all off with cotton wool soaked in methylated spirits every time I found it. I grew it from a pip for seven years but it never fruited. It was brought into the house each winter but I got caught out when I put it in the greenhouse and it got frosted.
  
  I don't know anyone else with a citrus tree so I think I will add a little at a time to my watering can and see what transpires.
