Hi

I have 3 citrus which have come through the winter well.
When I was chatting to someone they said that these
should always be watered with warm water. Has anyone
else heard of or doing this and what is the advantage - like
rain is cold wherever it is more or less isn't it?

Dear Westi,
it is probably not a very good idea to use warm water. However it IS a good idea to use rain water for them. Citrus like acidic/lime free water to do well. Use ericaceous composts and feed.
