It doesn’t come out of me easily but you are probably the best youtuber I’ve found so far when it comes to planting and gardening. I really appreciate what you are doing for us home-growers. A big thank you from the Philippines.

[twilliam]

That was so easy to follow and stay involved, with such a great story telling voice full of experienced insight that's pure gold!

I wish I had seen this 20 years ago when I planted my yard, but I am still glad to see it today. Thx!

This video was incredibly helpful and easy to learn from. Thank you so much for the great tutorial.

Really good to know about how vulnerable the bark is to sunburn. I'm considering one day espaliering some citrus trees, so I'll definitely have to take some precautions to protect the bark if I do that.

I’m so glad I watched this this morning. I have 7 citrus trees in containers and they have had curling and yellowing leaves! Now I can fix the problem! Thanks Angela

[MarieLagu]

Thanks for sharing Angela. Now I know why the leaves of my citrus tree were are curled up and after a rain they were back to normal.

[pushpabhatia]

[shaetanner]

Perfect, I just planted a lemon and an orange tree in Vegas!

[tezzag]

Thank you for mentioning seasons as well as months. Our summer in Australia is Dec-Feb and it can be confusing when people say, “Do this in July” when they’re in the northern e.

[scott]

Thank you for just telling us simply what to do instead of making a long video telling your whole life story.

[muzzmurgatroyd]

A friend gave me an orange tree and I foolishly left it in my conservatory when I went on holiday. It nearly died, but with a bit of loving care it is now showing some vigorous growth. This video is really helpful, I've leraned some important tips about how to care for it. Thank you. 😃🟠

[maxwellkamwendo]

Well summarized and straight to the point

[LesleyLizbeth]

So helpful!!! I just bought a little three year old Valencia orange tree. It’s got quite a few blossoms already on it. Do you thin these?

[maricarmenrusso]

Excellent timing... I just planted 8 different varieties of citrus trees. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

[rachelkerr]

Thank you for getting to the point and for the "why's"... I'm in my 3rd year of my dwarf lemon and I'm pretty sure they are the best lemons I've ever had lol!
