I have a container lemon tree, I started from a small branch I purchased in florida in May. I live in PA,
It Has been growing wonderfully and had to be trasplanted once already. So for the winter,
I got a grow light to make sure it was get the light needed.
At first it grew crazily, inches in weeks and looked beautiful. It is now dropping leaves from that growth. They were normal sized and slightly yellowing in center as they grew.
Then they started to drop,
I just repotted it into a larger pot and fertilized.
Hoping the leaf drop stops

I just got off these at the garden center. All the other videos I watched were ok, but yours was the most informative! Thank you for sharing this!

My meyer lemon trees are producing well .Thanks for the good info.

An excellent video! I’ve got a new Meyer lemon tree that is producing a huge bundle of blossoms and it’s very exciting! I’m looking forward to many lemons! 😊

I layer the bottoms of my pots with pea gravel to help with keeping the holes clear.

Very informative! Thank you for your expertise. I live in PA and I have 5 lemon trees. It's winter time with snow on the ground and they are all producing quite well!

Our son & family gave me a Meyer lemon tree for Mothers Day. Your video is a wealth of info on how to grow and care for it. Thank you. I’m sure I will be referring back to the video often. Judy Connelly eastern North Carolina

Thank you for the great tips/advice. I bought a Meyer Lemon Tree about a month ago and to my surprise it has blossomed nicely! It is in a south window and I will use your pollination tips and others on this new experience of owning a lemon tree! I hope to make lemon curd. one day.

I just bought a lemon tree the other day. I can't wait to get fruit. So exciting watching all the plants mature and developing.

Okay...I need to go rescue my meyers lemon. It was a gift at Christmas. The leaves are yellow so I maybe too late. So informative. Thank you for the details. I will be coming back to watch again....

I wish the tree luck because compost and peat moss retain water, and citrus trees NEED aeration and moisture to grow. Why do I say that? If you noticed the original mix that the lemon tree was in, the mix was mainly bark. Why? Bark promotes aeration. When there's aeration with pockets of moisture, roots will branch out to access the nutrients (N, P, K, Zn, Fe, Cu, etc).

Best advice, 5-1-1. 5 parts PINE bark (or a screened aged fir using 1/2 inch and 1/8 screens and discarding the fine powdered medium), 1 part peat moss (moistened) or 1 part potting mix, and 1 part sand (or 1/2 coarse sand with 1/2 pumice). Mix it up. Plant your citrus tree. THEN, add the compost ON TOP with citrus fertilizer, then mist the tree to reduce the mix from compacting and reducing soil runoff. Happy gardening🍊🍋🥑

I do love peeling my 🍋 seed it helps speed up the growth.

I have 2 lemon trees i started from storebought lemon seed in orange juice cartons in our greenhouse here in north alabama 8a . One is about a year old and almost lost it to a cold snap this past winter. It stayed green but no visible growth until one day i went out and it had shot up a new apical tip and over the past 2 weeks its grown another almost 3 inches. The other one sprouted from a pot of hops i had dug to divide and potted up for winter with soil i obviously forgot i had a what i thought as a failed attempt at lemons in the soil previously. Nice surprise to find a lemon tree growing there in february. It got potted in another juice carton with top cut off..I keep a humidity dome on them made from a clear simply juice bottle with bottoms cut off, and lid off. It fits the square cartons perfectly.
Ill pot them up pretty soon. I give them that alaska fish formula 5-1-1 regularly but bought a bag of 13-13-13 and gave them a pinch on top 2 weeks ago. They seem to like it. Thanks for the videos, im sub'd and ill be checking out your other ones, especially the bonsai .

I just repotted my first group of citrus trees. I can't wait to see how things go! I have an IM lemon, a Thornless Key lime, and a Persian lime. They are all very small, so I really appreciate your tip on what to expect for yearly growth. I wasn't quite sure.

Thank you for sharing 😊 Much appreciated 🙏

I just got my second Meyer lemon tree from a garden center. I got one by mail order earlier in March. I'm excited to see if I can get them to bear fruit!

I have an 8 year old Meyer lemon tree in a 20 gallon pot I'm in zone 7 and it sits in front of a window that's east facing and I have a spider farmer 1000 light on it for 12 hours a day. There are literally hundreds of flowers on that tree last season a rodent got to it and it had to go back and had to go back a lot of branches. I usually get between 30 or 40 lemons on the tree in the spring that ripen around December indoors. But this season I think that's going to be even more I've never seen it flower so much as this season. I use an electric toothbrush to pollinate
