I have a Meyer lemon tree. Learned more about pruning from this video than anywhere else. I have the confidence to make the cuts now.

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.

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!

My Meyer is 16 now, and going strong. Fantastic lemons. Thanks for the vid, very interesting.

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:)

I have never seen a lemon tree with so many lemons on it. Amazing.

I’ve been trying to help my poor little lemon tree. It’s five years old and not one blossom yet. Started from a Meyers lemon seed. I don’t mind that it’s not going to be exactly like the fruit it came from. I’m gathering information on what else can be done. Happy I found your channel! Thank you so much. 😊🍋

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!

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!

I sure wish I had some of your cuttings. I have watched this video several times. You do great work with such a beautiful Meyer Lemon tree.

So many lemons...beautiful! I needed Meyer Lemon pruning tips here in Las Vegas Siena Summerlin!

[vinos]

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.

[margaretkeatley]

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!

I live in Upstate New York. We bought a Lemon tree two years ago and planted it in a 12” pot. This year we had about 15 flowers but all the lemons except 2 died and fell off. The 2 that survived are doing well and growing. We trimmed some of the tree after the flowers and fruit died off. The tree is moved outside for the summer months where the tree gets a few hours of direct sun and then is in shade the rest of the day. The tree went through a time of leaf dropping. We thought the tree was dying. Once we moved the tree outside, it blossomed with more new leaves. Today we moved the tree back inside because the nights are getting cold. The tree will stay inside until next Spring when the weather gets warm and no frost will happen. I’m sure we will go through the dropping leaves again without the summer weather. The tree is in front of a sliding glass door facing South. We did fertilize the tree last Fall. Should the same pruning be done for and inside/outside Lemon Tree?
Thank you.
Richard
