Do you feel the size is reasonable? Several places sell lemon trees but they are scrawny little things that don't survive...

Thank goodness! Thought you were crazy to put a tree in a pot without drainage.

@elderyehudahwatchmanoftheg8425 4 года назад

Great video brother. If you do not mind, here's some advice. As a master gardener and specialized in citrus, especially grown in containers. You at some point need to have drainage holes. This is imperative to the health and life of the tree. Just as citrus do not like to sit in a pool of water. That container not having drainage holes will allow the water to be stagnant and stinking. This will only attract gnats and make life for the roots a living hell. Be sure that the feeder roots on top of the root ball sit just above the soil line. This is very important brother. Those feeder roots catches any moisture from above and allows the root system to breath. Another note, do not prune your citrus for the first 2-3 years. Trust me on that. The citrus trees does not like to be pruned like fruit trees. So please allow the branches to form for those required years as they also protect the bottom trunk of the tree from the scorching summer heat. Yes, thin your tree of excess fruit to allow the root system to develop. Allow the soil to slightly dry out between watering also. Take care and Hope this helps.

@epicgardening 4 года назад

I'll likely drill some into this pot later on brother! Very much appreciate that advice my friend.

I made my own soil, it seems to be liking it so far. I used a 75/25 mix give or take of bark mulch chips and Turface MVP (calcinized clay that is used in baseball fields). It drains super fast and both clay and bark hold on to nutrients and water. Whats your opinion?

@estherpoon207 4 года назад

thank you both for your precious advices. I bought my Meyer Lemon tree from costco last year. it came with fruits last year and lots of flowers , but unfortunately did come up with any new fruits. I pick the old fruists and made lemonade with it, really good. This spring I brought it out to the sund deck and doing well, lots of new leaves and few flowers came out. but too bad i didn't read your advice soon enough. I just prune my lemon tree yesterday.

My family had an orange grove in Monrovia in the 1930’s, and thankfully I still have the crate label. My childhood home was built on an old citrus orchard and when they dug to put in a 2nd sewer line- they hit large clay “pipes”. Apparently these pipes were used to water at root level for the orchards. We also had smudge pots everywhere. We had the original Meyer lemon tree on our property which was way sweeter than the improved version, but unfortunately it died last year. I’ve also learned that you can easily, on accident, bonsai a citrus tree using a felt pot. They’re very tough trees, and I would encourage anyone in SoCal to grow them instead of ornamental parkway trees. ]

I've been growing my meyers lemon in a 10gal fabric pot for 2 years now and we just got our first harvest. They're HUGE fruits and so delicious. But I wanted to leave a tip here to thin out your fruit early in the season to avoid weighing down your branches enough to break. We barely avoided disaster this year by leaving too many lemons to ripen and though we got a huge harvest, I really felt the stress of worrying about the branches snapping.

I use a Bokashi system and use the liquid to fertilise it. I bring it in from November to April as the temp drops and it sits happily by floor to ceiling South facing windows.

I literally just bought a Meyers lemon AND a container to grow it in two days ago. But I haven’t put it together because I want to make sure I’m using the right soil. I bought a beautiful glazed pottery container that is deep and not wide since the tree is only in a one gallon pot to begin with and I figured something bigger really isn’t that necessary. I’ll go get some of that cactus soil as an addition to the compost I plan to grow it in, I’m mainly concerned with the ph of the soil for this little tree. Thanks so much for this video. Have an awesome day!

Hello, Thank you so much for all of your growing tips and your calm nature - I live in Las Cruces NM in zone 8 but a or b I don’t know, I had a lemon tree in a pot and I grew it mostly indoors and it produced 6 lemons this summer I put it outside & at one point it didn’t do well all the leaves dried and fell off but the lemons didn’t drop they were still ripening -I decided to plant it on the side where the sun rises against our brick house to avoid the hot weather of the desert - and what do you know it’s sprouting more leaves than it’s ever had and the fruit is still ripening - before planting I amended the soil w cactus soil and potting soil, its doing well, we had 3 days of monsoon rain and I think it loves its new home - winter will be an issue, most of our winter days are in the 50 & 60´s & last year we had 15 nights where it dropped to 15 but only for a few hrs at night - I know I’ll have to protect the tree - any suggestions ????

@lgarden7086 4 года назад

I have 2 Meyer lemons and a lime tree, all in containers. I thought the lemons needed repotting but when I removed the plant I realized the roots were NOT healthy, and it didn’t really need a new pot so I just gave it new (cactus) soil and right back into the nursery pot. Now the leaves are yellowing .... the soil feels damp to me so I’m waiting to water again. Both plants produced lemons for me, but they always seem near death until they go outside in the summer MOF one plant lost every single leaf and then it came back to life!!!! My citrus enjoy the NE humidity and my southern exposure. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series and was excited when I saw the topic. Good luck with your new lemon it’s beautiful and those roots 👍👍I wouldn’t have used the pot without drainage because I need all the help I can get. My lime is starting to fruit now; I know you’re right about fruit pruning but when is the time to decide? I think I’ll wait until they get a bit larger. I actually learned about fruit pruning when my tomatoe plants collapsed from some very large Roma plum tomatoes. Thanks for this series.

@SladeMacGregor Год назад

@Ms Lou22 Put your citrus tree in a greenhouse or someplace where it's very moist and the greenhouse temp. is kept around 45-50 degrees during the winter months. (By the way, Citrus prefers strong sunlight, not house light or grow lights.) This is a tropical plant and it wants sun light and humidity. With the temp above 45+ degrees, this will stimulate your plant to start blooming in the winter months, and this is what you want. Your citrus will start flowing like crazy; Flowers produce fruit. Also, citrus trees ARE VERY HEAVY FEEDERS!....they love compost, worms, manure(not cat or dog), coffee grounds, and kitchen scraps. Feed it a lot through out the year! Lastly, citrus love real ground soil amended with sand and compost.....not potting mix. Potting mix is like junk food for the citrus tree. In fact, most citrus prefer growing in ground soil around your house rather in the pot, and your fruit will taste so much better. It'll grow in the pot, but it just doesn't do as well and the plant will start showing yellow leaves now in then. It's cannibalizing itself trying to get minerals and nutrients and thus yellow leaves. Good luck! P.S. watch leadfarmer73 for more advice.

Thank You Kevin! I live in the high desert mountains zone 7...my little Meyer I bought last year (1 ft tall) didn't do well after transplanting even though I used cactus/suculent mix with a bit of fertilizer and did not over-water...it had flowers when I got it and tiny baby lemons but the leaves just started curling and dropping and finally it died. When I took it out of the pot I noticed the roots were kind of stuck in the original starter plug and had white fungus looking stuff...I likely didn't pay enough attention to roots! Also was wondering if I need to humidify better since it is dry here in high desert?

My meyer lemon just grown in black plastic bag or we call it polybag. Just harvest 2 times, Lemon very healthy and big lemon. My fertilizer is chicken mannure and organic liquid fertilizer (home made) The soil i use the garden soil around my garden only. I should put in big pot but don't have much time. Maybe next time waiting until no more lemon and put it in better pot. Thank you for sharing🙏❤😀

Hey, Kevin, does the same care apply to a lime (or dwarf lime) tree? I’ve dreamt of having my own ever since I cared for my neighbors’ when they went out of town from grades 3-11! I finally have a home environment suitable for one including a great grow light!

Nice video! I would’ve drilled some holes in that pot though, especially if you’re growing outdoors. Cheers bud!

Would you please do a video on pollinating a lemon tree that is indoors? I understand you can do so with a Q-tip in the absence of bees.

That's funny, we bought a Meyer Lemon tree about five years ago from Pam's Fast Growing Trees. We live in Seattle, which is not ideal for these trees, but it is about five feet tall and stays on our south facing back patio and gets a good amount of sun light. Wish we lived further south since our growing season isn't great. We get about three or four lemons per year, I know, not much, but they are very flavor-full and end up in our drinks/aperitifs.
