My stalwart citrus, the meyer lemon, has all of a sudeen started to droop its leaves and I'm worried they are only going one way!! I am used to citrus suddenly dropping leaves, in response to a change, but this points at something more suspicious but can't figure out why.
It spends most of it's winter in a covered, brick area meaning it stays dry but keeps the humidity. It has always been very happy and has even laughed off the odd light frost when I've forgotten to drag it in to the conservatory. The only thing that has changed is that, in those horrendous winds yesterday, the roof blew off and so the last 12 hours it has been subject to strong wind and some rain this morning. Weirdly though, the lime next to it (which is far more sensitive) looks absolutely fine.
Any thoughts very welcome. I have now put it in my unheated conservatory - I'd love to know what has caused that droop .... and how serious it is.
