He took his time and explained everything so well. I like that. I also appreciate his reluctance in the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Very wise counsel.

Mark, its been 5 years since you made this, can you do an update on how your lemon trees are doing now. Also what variety are they..?

How to Grow a Massive YouTube Audience! You succeeded mate, and well deserved too. You are a true winner Mark!

Thank you! There are simply not enough videos available on how to produce healthy citrus. I'm a Florida girl who grew up surrounded by orange groves and want to recreate that environment for my own family. Your five tips make perfect sense and best of all, you have that glorious lemon tree in the video as living proof for all to see. Well done.

Because of your video, I now have a beautiful bunch of lemons (and tangerines) coming in this year. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I also followed your advice on pruning a peach tree and I will have a beautiful harvest this year. You are my go-to master gardener. Everything you have advised has worked . Now on to the carrots and cucumbers!

I love how you protect, provide, and love. You take your plants in as a part of yourself. You consider all angles and lead with heart and common sense. If everyone did what you do there would be no more wars. I think you are doing a lot more than you realize.

I just watched this video again, after four years, and so enjoyed these practical and sensible tips. Since I saw it first time I applied your advice not only on my Eureka lemon tree, but also on my Calamondin container tree, my lime tree, and the Cape lemon, which has a rough thick skinned fruit, with great results. I live in the Overberg, a part of the Western Cape in South Africa. The lemons have become a part of my daily diet, I make lemon cordials and marmalade, and start the day with a hot lemon-ginger-turmeric drink. Thanks for all your enthusiasm over the years and I hope you and your family stay healthy and happy!

Always good to rewatch your videos, including this one about the lemon tree because your 5 tips helped me bring back a lemon tree when I bought the house from the previous owner. That same tree three years later now keeps rewarding so many people when I give away all the lemons. Thanks

Oh my goodness, now I really, really want to grow a lemon tree! They're just lovely and very much my cup of tea :)

I’ve been using used coffee grounds mixed with crushed chicken egg shells that I’ve cooked briefly in the oven as fertilizer for my lemon tree.
Since I started fertilizing with this combination, my lemon tree has been growing like a weed.

I'm a newbie when it comes to growing any and everything. But after watching two videos from Self Sufficient Me, I was revived with confidence to garden once again. He shares tips that are tried and true, explains thoroughly; And the winner for me is that he isn't relying on pesticides. His garden is a testiment of wisdom and passion. All I can see is how healthy his crops are...how fertile he's made his land.

Wonderful tips, my friend! Those are a lot of fruits your plants are producing. I am guilty for not mulching much but I will take your advice and start doing that more! I do much a bit with my fallen leaves but not as much as you do. Awesome tips! Keep growing!!

My tree grows way more lemons than the tree in this video 🍋 I don't mulch, though I have tried it before. The roots are shallow, and some are exposed because they need to breathe.
I'll tell you what I did. Three years ago, when my family and I were living in a different state (military), we rented our home to tenants. By the time we moved into our home, the tree looked like it was dying. The leaves and branches had fungus that looked like powdery black soot. This was because it was infested by aphids. Aphids are tiny green bugs that produce a clear sticky substance called "honeydew" and fungus feed on it. When Fungus mold covers the leaves, it doesn't allow light to come in, stopping photosynthesis, and that's why the tree was dying. The fungus mold had taken over the tree.

So I got loppers, pulled up my sleeves and went to work to bring this mature lemon tree back to life. I pruned it until there was nothing but bare branches left, after that I got a sponge with water and scrubbed all the black fungus off all the branches. I put in "Vigoro Citrus and Avocado" fertilizer on the roots, all around the water line (where the roots would end) under a thin layer of top soil dirt, covered it with mulch because there were no leaves to protect the roots from the sun, watered the tree every other day in 80-90 degree weather, and once a week during 50-60 (F) degree weather. After 6 months it started to sprout smaller branches, then leaves, then small flowers and after one year the fruit came back huge and in abundance. The aphids tried to come back with the fungus, so I sprayed NEEM OIL (in the evening, not in the sun) on all the leaves to kill them without hurting the tree and now they stay away. Everyone who tastes the fruit of this tree says they are so juicy and they stay fresh for quite a while compared to store bought lemons that rot soon after. I live in California by the way. This tree has so many lemons I worry that the weight is too much for the branches or that they'll go to waste, and this is after my neighbors take home bags full of them.
