Ive just bought a house and really happy we have a lemon myrtle tree so will try making lemon tea thanks for sharing your video

[@priscillaperry6975]

I love all lemon I have lemon, Verbania lemon balm, lots of lemon trees, lemon geranium. Lemongrass. But I never heard of a lemon myrtle so I would like to buy one of those. I’ll have to start looking. I’m over in California, so pray it grows. If I find one thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for this great video Morag, my neighbour in Sydney has one of these and the flavour and smell are exactly as you describe. You have an easy, honest and personable presenting style combined with great skill, knowledge and passion. I hope you might get a chance to share your message of layered gardens for food, habitat and fun in the mainstream media, maybe a presenter on “Gardening Australia” !

I just purchased one so I'm keen to get it into a large pot and use the leaves for tea. Thankyou so much for the video.

[@karenfourie2449]

Thank you. You are such an inspiration . Just Amazing ! 🌸

[@verysilentmajority]

Thank you for such thorough information. Answered all my questions. Especially that flowers can be used for tea also. I'm in the South West of Western Australia and am delighted to have two very healthy trees. trees. Will use your propagating and micro enterprise idea. 😊

[@SS-re5gm]

Thank you Morag for your videos! Feeling grateful and inspired. I just love your straightforward instructions and extra tips for success...makes it all seem so much more achievable. I'm really looking forward to making more teas from the garden too!

Bought a small lemon myrtle tree a few days ago. Can’t wait to give some leaves and cuttings away. They smell amazing. Thank you Morag.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Hi Morag, I’ve just started watching your videos as I am interested in permaculture. You are so lovely and inspiring! Thank you for so much valuable information 🌈

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

You are so welcome!

[@nissarahmed8064]

Thank you ma'am , I have two lemon mertle trees in my yard but never new about the benefits, thanks for your advise.

[@martinlong2804]

Brilliant thanks

[@woodwidewebeducation]

Thanks, very useful! I have two Lemon Myrtle trees which I am about to prune.

[@TheAustralianHealthShow]

thankyou ❤

[@jeff6899]

Love your video's ! I like to grow "mostly" natives, but mix in a lot of other fantastic plants...and I need to find a source for this plant in the USA !! Thanks for sharing :)

[@chelinfusco6403]

Never heard of Lemon Myrtle before. I will do my research to get one here in the US. I would very much like to grow some. Thanks for the information. Love your curly hair... mine is so straight. ;-)

[@whiskeygardens3441]

I've been looking for one! Please let me know if you find a way to get one in the US!!

[@beverlygamble1918]

What time of the year was the cutting taken Morag. I love my LM Tree and would love to take cuttings from it to grow all over our property. I live in SE QLD

[@Felixkoifish]

Thanks for sharing . Can I grow 2 meter away from our drive way ? I just concern the root from the tree may cause structure or drive way damage ? Thanks again .

[@fCLEF007]

I have one in a pot (I'm in W.A). Two questions: since it is a native, does that mean I have to only use native fertiliser on it bc regular stuff will kill it with the nitrogen? Also, in cooking, do you remove it like a bay leaf, or do you chop it up and actually eat it?

[@williamdunn6672]

I have a beautiful Lemon Myrtle that I use almost daily & love it so much. It seems it needs a trim. I would love to propagate, but is it worth it at this time of year? I live near Newcastle, so a temperate almost sub-tropical climate.

[@whiskeygardens3441]

I have had the HARDEST time finding this in the United States. Do you know of any nurseries that carry the live plant that would ship to the US? Also I found some seeds on Ebay and ordered them. If they are legitimately lemon myrtle seeds, any tips on trying to get them started?

[@jjjjj208]

Any tips for growing them in a pot? I have one that I love but it’s not looking so great. Also can you fertilise them? And if so what would you recommend? Thanks so much ☺️

[@aidencattle5887]

Great video Morag. I have a Lemon Myrtle hedge (still in the early stages) and have been looking for a video on how to use it for ages. So grateful to stumble across your video. I have a question - when using the leaves to make tea, what leaves produce the best flavour, the young baby leaves or the larger ones? Also, does dried, finely cut leaves produce a better tea than torn or crushed whole leaves?

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

You're welcome.

[@ahamoments132]

hello lovely Morag. If I am using lemon myrtle for infused (not essential) il, are the old leaves ok to use?Thank you :) Love your videos!

[@martinlong2804]

Hello how are you, May I ask you a question. Would this tree grow in Ireland, love your channel thank you. Have a happy day ha ha ha.

[@clint4004]

What's is growing zone?

[@alisonheeley3587]

I am harvesting alot of Lemon Myrtle from my tress at the moment (Bellingen) and have been putting dried leaves in the blender to create tea leaves to give to others (or maybe sell in the future?), and then processing some more to create the powder. The scent is incredible! One of my plants needs a big trim, and some of the lower leaves have some spotting/marks on them..would they be less health-full to consume?

[@llee6842]

Sorry Morag, I've forgotten to ask how to treat rust leaves on my young lemon myrtle plant please?

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Try neem oil. And also try to feed and mulch the plant to help make it stronger.

[@frotasticnguyen6494]

My puppy pulled out my new lemon myrtle tree.😒 I am trying to save what I can from the tree. Wish me luck 😬

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Good luck!!
