Why Are My Lemons Bumpy, Lumpy & Deformed? How To Fix It - Backyard Garden - Citrus Tree Problems

#backyardgarden #fruittree #Citrustree #Bumpylemons

In this video I go over why citrus trees become bumpy, lumpy and have thick peel, not only the Lemon tree but also oranges, limes and all citrus. This is very important in all backyard gardening I will tell you how to fix it in a very simple and fast way.

Encountered an odd ball bumpy lemon from store in bag when cooking yesterday. Did minor surgery to see if the protrusions contained anything odd, but just same composition as the skin. Pre emptive search online only showed “lemon scab” as weird brown stuff, not bumps of same color. Glad you did video, I agree, seems like a nutritional deficiency. Nature is amazing…

1:27 This video is mis-information The branch at the point in the video is the ROOTSTOCK that was supposed to be pruned away. This is not uncommon to happen when people do not now they are supposed to always prune away shoots from the rootstock—which can take over the tree. You need to use loppers or a proper folding tree saw to remove that branch at the base. All those other shoots coming up from the bottom also need to be pruned away.

Thank you for the ANSWER to this! Our neighbors tree has done just THIS! We were all like what the world but you ANSWERED IT! Thanks!

This video is so helpful as we didn't know what is going on with our lemon tree. Some of the lemons were the regular kind and the others huge and bumpy. Glad to know that they are edible also.

the video was very helpful I didn't know what was wrong with my tree. Now I know how to try to fix it so I will get juicy regular lemons

I went back and looked and it’s definitely a sucker. I came across this video because we currently dealt with a sucker problem on our lemon tree.

Now I know about these citrus fruits with bumps from my garden 😮. Thank you very much, Ma'am 😊.

I will proceed as you instructed, and I will share my result here.
Thank you again!

Those rough lemons are delicious. I’m glad I’ve got one.

I don't think lack of nutrition is necessarily what's going on here. I have a lemon tree that produces lemons that all look like the larger ones you show here. That's because of the variety of the lemon, not nutrition of the tree. What has likely happened on your tree is that the root stock variety is growing on part of your tree while the grafted variety continues to grow on the majority of the tree.

I was not expecting this. I got lemons like those large bumpy ones from a friend's garden who claimed that's the variety of lemon. Not knowing any better, I thought it was cool and unique looking, but then my lemon tree produced a few of these the same year and I was thoroughly confused 😆

I didn't understand how a common lemon tree could make a couple fruits that look and feel just like the other "exotic variety" of lemons, lol. My tree produces huge lemons that are usually normal in shape as well, like the size of a grapefruit, but also round like a giant yellow orange. Maybe that's also due to a nutrition issue since they do have rather thick pith compared to the more normal looking lemons.

I fed the trees sea mineral fertilizer this year and all the new fruit look very normal and healthy, but still on the large side. I fed the tree some ammonium sulfate, so that might be why they're robust in size this year as well.

I noticed the opposite thing happening with the avocado tree, where the fruits produced were small and had little flesh. This year the fruits are robust and are the size of the large hass avocados in the stores.

Amazing what a little nutrition can do. There's still a ways to go, but all the fruit trees are bouncing back very nicely this year.

I have that type of lemon in my tree. I like it because it’s soft and easy to squeeze.

Seriously. If you're getting lumpy lemons you are extremely lucky, those are a variety that typically grow in Italy and they are very sweet and have a lot of oil in the skin

My tree has this problem exactly. My husband keeps his pile of lawn clippings from the mowing very close to our tree, which is only about three years old. Could these be supplying too much nitrogen?

[CesarRamos-tfth]

My tree is doing that and it’s a fairly new 5 year old tree grown from the seed. I will try some fertilizer and let you know what happens

[jasonclark]

We call that lumpy hardy variety in Australia a bush lemon.

[megsamor]

Is there spikes on the branches? I don’t know what we have

[truthseeker]

I think that's the rootstock that suckerd out

[emdiggy]

How can it be a nutrient deficiency if the tree is producing normal lemons as well as lumpy ones? i think the tree is just too old.

Step it up and continue with telling us
