6. Lemon it is worth feeding up in the spring that the tree which is actively growing during this period has saved up nutrients for future fructification. As fertilizer it is possible to use dung water, sawdust and ashes and also mineral fertilizing as a part of which there is nitrogen. It is possible to add couple of grams of zinc or copper.
