How to prune citrus trees

It wouldn’t be a kiwi garden without the iconic citrus tree. Every gardener should have one. Easy- peel mandarins and oranges are a favourite with the kids and lemons and limes are perfect in drinks or cooking. They are also highly ornamental in pots, perfect if you're short on space!

Pruning fruit trees may seem like a daunting task, but citrus trees are resilient and will benefit greatly from you removing dead, diseased or unnecessary branches.
