Hi there help me . I planted a lemon seed 7 years ago but no lemons. Its about 3feet tall with leaves dnd thornes😢
I have a seedling Meyer lemon that produces lots of excellent fruit. The skin is a little thicker and not as smooth as the improved meyer, but the fruit size is large and the flavor is outstanding. It’s about 6’ tall and produces countless fruit each year. I think the fact that it’s been growing in Oregon for nearly 4 decades where there aren’t a lot of other citrus trees is the reason the seedlings from this tree make fruit that is true to the parent. I grow it on an unheated covered patio where the temp doesn’t drop much below 30. On some of the coldest winter nights it hits 28. The tree has never shown any signs of stress at that temp. I’m also able to grow sudachi here which are also seedlings and excellent. Sudachi is a yuzu and mandarin hybrid and makes juicy fruit that tastes like a lime. I bring it up because the yuzu is one of the few citrus that grow true to seed.
I have never seen a lemon tree with so many lemons on it. Amazing.

I love the way that you speak to the tree, with your positive energy; and how you take your time and nurture the plant. There is power in the tongue:)
Yes, prune you citrus up to 10 to 20%. I have done this every year and in Spring, my trees are full of blossoms and bees. My trees are in containers and the scent from the blossoms is incredible.

@@IVOrganic I was wondering if you could help me with some advice. At the moment, I only have 2 young semi-dwarf 'Improved Meyer' trees. Both of them had blooms and some fruit developing when I got them last week. One of them looks MUCH better than the other. I decided to not transplant that one. The scraggly one was picked by my 5 year old because "it was cute" and I couldn't say no. I figured I would take on the challenge and give the little ugly duckling a happy forever home. :D My question is it OK to prune some of the young branches right now in the spring? Some are heading in the wrong direction. Should I wait until after the fruit has been harvested in the winter? One of your other responses to me which I took to heart is to not worry too much about the first available harvest but to look ahead at future harvests. That will be hard to do though because we are all so excited to see our trees with fruit! Thanks again for your wisdom and time.

Absolutely the most helpful and informative video I’ve ever seen on lemon tree pruning. Thank you!
I watched your video this morning and spent 4 hours pruning my Meyer lemon. I don't remember how old it is....maybe 20 years. It is a under 5 ft, but many years produced well over 300 lemons. Thanks to your video I really got in there and cleaned up the dead wood and the downward spiraling branches. I hope to get to the other side tomorrow. I also have blossoms starting and a couple of small fruit. I am in Central California and between high heat, limited water, deer and squirrels it has managed quite well. I look forward to finding your products. Our family always whitewashed the trees. My sister liked your video and subscribed as well. Thank you. You are an excellent teacher!
A friend of mine gave me a starter lemon plant last year with about six tiny leaves. This past March it started to grow faster, now it stands about 8 inches high , 3 inches wide, and the leaves are almost ten times bigger. After watching your video, I all set in knowing what to do coming next Spring. Thank you, this is very informative! Amazing tips!
After watching this, I want a giant glass of fresh squeezed lemonade, with extra lemon for extra tartness. Thanks for the video and info. God Bless bro.

Hi! So six weeks ago, after watching this video I pruned my potted Meyer lemon tree and she is so happy now! She is pushing so much new growth, probably the most I have very seen her push. We have had her for 10 years. First, in huge ceramic pot at first and then transferred to a wooden whiskey barrel about three years ago. Last year was the first season we had a decent lemon harvest. I love this tree so much and I feel like with these tips, I have finally treated her the way she needed to be treated. Thanks for your help! I have the brown paint and plan to paint her soon too!

Do I trim her now even though rain is forecasted all week or wait for dryer weather? I don’t want to make her vulnerable to fungus and root. When you have a moment, any advice would be helpful. 😊

Thank you so much for this video. I have watched a lot of videos on how to care for my Meyer Lemon tree and yours is by far the best and most informative. Enjoyed watching and subscribed to your channel.
Hello! I am a trained arborist who has recently moved south and started collecting potted citrus trees. Typically when pruning other types of trees, you do not want to cut into the collar of the branch as it opens the main trunk to rot and disease. Watching these instructions I wonder, do citrus trees not have this issue? I can't wait to dive in a learn more! Thank you for the video and your time!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE GARDENING BUT I WAS NOT DOING IT RIGHT MY PLANTES ALWAY DIED, NOW I CAN START DOING IT RIGHT FROM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO!! THANKS A LOT!
My Meyer is 16 now, and going strong. Fantastic lemons. Thanks for the vid, very interesting.

Earlier today I watched a video where on "Clone your favorite plants and trees". I am the 84 year old "novice who planted three trees a few months ago, one being a lemon tree, so thank you for showing me what to do after the tree has lemons. All the leaves were blown off in January, but with all the rain, the tree has many budding flowers. A few new small leaves, but lots of flowers.....do the flowers mean there will be lots of lemons? The tree in only about two feet tall. I am so excited, guess I'll have to wait and see sigh......(smiles)

Yes flowers once pollinated will be fruit but it’s best to let your tree have a year or two to grow roots and develop before having it focus on tons of fruit. Usually you just remove the blossoms or tiny fruit it’s probably ok to leave a half dozen but young trees that are let to establish a good foundation will reward greatly within a less amount of time, cheers
I just learned so much!! Thanx
This was a fantastic informative video, great job. I’m going to pick up the product for my trees!

Are you raking in a citrus granular fertilizer? I sprinkle it on the surface around the drip line of the tree and then RAKE it into the soil. I do this 1-2 times a year. It helps A LOT. Also you might see if your soil is a good PH or if there are any mites or pests on the leaves.
Very wonderful your lemon Mayer tree Charles . Good video with a lot of information Thanks a lot.

Very nice I watched it all and enjoyed every minute. Knowledge is power and lead to a successful garden : )
I have a Meyers lemon tree, that had a very small root base, planted it in the ground in late October 2019. Soil is sandy, with clay, and lots of rocks In Bullhead city AZ. Thru the winter it dropped all it's leaves. I made a shade box for it to keep it out of the direct sun in the dry 115 degree heat. It's about 3 feet wide rounded. The problem is, it grew 5 or 6 new leaves, and many new buds, they all died back. Last week I put mushroom compost from home depot. Then I hammered a citrus fertilizer spike. Watered it real good. It started to sprout all over the place like it was full steam ahead. I wait two days. I water it real good again yesterday and now the little tiny new growth is browning and dying back before it even gets started. I have the trunk painted white, with a barrier around it to keep the compost off the trunk. I'm thinking of getting it out of the ground putting in a pot and returning it to home depot. I put alot of tlc with this and I'm agitated with the watering process and the lousy results. some of the new sprouts are in good shape, but for the most part I'm not sure if it's the mushroom compost from home depot, which might have to much salt? or it's from to much water here in the 110 degree dry desert? It's almost June way past spring and nothing has sprung on this tree. Any Idea's?
