Would be nice to see proper pruning of a real tree not a baby. This tree (needed ) no trimming at this point. I would have put it in the ground or another much larger pot and waited another year at least.
I've been growing citrus for over 50 years and quite honestly I can't believe how you pruned it. I agree with taking most of the fruit off but little lemon trees like that can generally support four or five lemons. I guess everyone has their own idea on how to prune.
I found your channel again!! I used to follow your channel what must be over 10-15 years ago. Back when you had sheep and would get annoyed every time they got out. 😆 I remembered that I thought you looked like Hugh Jackman and were in Australia. Funnily enough, searching for "Australian gardener who looks like Hugh Jackman" didn't bring up any results. 😆 Sad to see it looks like you aren't making videos anymore but I'll subscribe in case you come back. 🙂🙂🙂
Does this dwarf lemon have thorns on the stem or is it a sign that it is the root stock coming up from the bottom. I bought mine several months ago and it is already shooting up with lots of new growth and it’s over a metre high so I’m suspecting it maybe rootstock rather than the authentic lemon itself.
How long does it stink for outside? I've got a terrible neighbor who mowed down protected wetland grass & planted yard grass. I'd like to be helpful & fertilize it for them 😂
I hate my neighbours and do this. When they are having a bbq on the weekend I pour it along our fence line and let it waft over their party. Best part, there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.
Thank you for your video. I have a lemon tree in a 5 gal bucket. It was grown by a friend. I'm located in Honduras. There aren't any good fertilizers nor knowledgeable people around to help me. My tree is a dwarf and I'd like to no transfer it into the ground. It has produced a few lemons but I want to prune it and do something so It grows better. The soil I have the tree in and have access to doesn't look even a fraction as good as yours does. Any advice?
Thanks, I have a 2 year old dwarf in ground. Growing in the desert, I think it's time to give it a good pruning, possibly when it's a little cooler weather. I know I've got big suckers coming up from below the graft. Nice video, thanks..
Got a lot of extended view of the back of your left hand. HINT - videos come out much better if you don't have something in front of the lens blocking the view of the camera.
Great real-time demonstration - thank you just what I wanted! Two more questions... What time of the year is best to prune a dwarf meyer / dwarf lime in Australia (I'm in Sydney)? And how do you know when it's time to re-pot? What do you look for?
