What could be the problem of my eureka lemon tree. It is putting fruit but then when they grow a little they turn yellow and fall. My tree is 3yrs old. I water deeply once a week . I added warm casting and bones meal but still dropping fruit. Could you please help me? Thx!
I learnt several things in this video: 1. Always moisten the soil before fertilizing. 2. Use half strength of the amount used to fertilize a plant grown in the soil. 3. Fertilize on a monthly schedule. Thanks much for this lesson. 👍🏻
Let those who have a ear hear. HalleluYAH! Thank you for hearing and remember container grown citrus need to be fertilizer 12 months out of the year. It does not stop for them.
All good information but I have to say watering before fertilizing though it can help, isn't that necessary. I worked on a commercial farm and vineyard and most our crop we would just amend the soil, the fertilizer will be broken down by weathering and heat. On certain crops we were explicitly told not to water before or after amending the soil. Also one tip, If your using drip irrigation you minimize the act of flushing out nutrients from the soil. Nevertheless good information
Thanks to RU-vid algorithms your channel was popped up! Great garden and, as I already water before fertilizing, I'm subscribing to learn other things from you. I can tell you have much to share.
Welcome Makeeta! Thank you for coming along and for subbing. Any questions please send me a message on my instagram channel. Link in my heading or under the description of video. Shalom
Perfect🙏🏽 My Tango Mandarin has nickel to almost a quarter size fruit on it for the first time since buying it. This is my first time growing citrus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
So glad I found your channel. I bought a Meyer lemon plant that was 12-14 tall which had two blooms that became a lemon after self pollinating it. A few weeks later it bloomed six sets of blooms. Suddenly the blooms, upper 5-6 leaves fell off as well as the lemon. I don’t know why. I only put s little citrus fertilizer on it when I potted it about 2 months ago. I was told not too much fertilizer in the beginning. Thank you for your videos. You are so knowledgeable. Really enjoy your videos.
Hello Lucille, Stay steadfast with that little lemon tree. I have an entire citrus playlist . Take your time because every video I made in reference to citrus is important. Please subscribe for more updates okay. Be blessed and thanks for stopping by.
I'm so happy I found your channel.... I could almost kiss the screen... but, it keeps hitting me when I do, so I stopped that a long time ago. I now have to take the plunge and try to find every vid on meyer's; watch, listen, take notes, rewind, listen, rewrite... next... repeat, and desperately. I has little meyer seedling, I'm in the Mojave Desert, and I need success in the midst of Corona hiding from stupidity ;) THank you so much, sir, this is going to be so much fun! Be safe, both youse and your'n. ;)
I really like how you take your time to explain everything and to do the job right. I usually just kinda push all the chips to one side & add fertilizer & do the same for the other side, but I do still find I miss spots like this or find some fertilizer on top of the mulch. Its best to take your time & do the job right like you did. Thanks for a great video!
I had to post an update! My avocado tree is doing much better. The growth that put on is crazy. I also apply it to my orange and lemon and they are growing. I use organic low Fertilizer. Thank you. Now I have to find big containers for my trees!
Beautiful garden! Thank you for your advice! Hello from Canada! I have couple of citrus trees and my baby is a panderossa lemon and the tree is 19 years old beautiful tree and delicious lemons, I get 40 to 50 lemons a year.
I have a wormbin in my balcony and you should see my 2lil girls begging for worm to play with. “Daddy we want worms” and all my planting is infused with worms. It’s a must. Anyway it’s been a while since watching your videos from your previous place, I think in Sacramento. I’m shocked I’m not subscribed because I’ve been fan for a while. “This must be a new channel of yours” Anyway love the beautiful yard and it’s well organized as always. Love everything about it and keep up the good work. Peace and fruitful harvest to you.
Well hello! Yes it has been some time. Yes new place and a new channel. In fact getting ready to relocate to AZ here soon. Already transitioning and the reason I have not put up a new video lately. Yes this is a new channel with the same name as old. Thanks to many others hacking it. Thanks again for stopping by and resubbing.
Thank you for letting me know to pre-moisten the soil, measuring the circumference of the pot to understand how many tablespoons of fertilizer to add, and the need to fertilize my pot citrus monthly. I’ve fertilized my clementine mandarin, Meyers lemon, and just purchased a Bearrs Lime tree to add to my growing collection. I’m in the Vallejo/North Bay region here in Northern California and we have a mild climate 8-9 months of the year.
Hello, New Subscriber here. I like how well you explained your process straight to the point, wish I saw this video before, at present I have a very young grafted mango tree in a 5 gal pot, I wanted to put it straight into the 30 gal but I herd on another channel NOT to be tempted to do that as it could damage the root of the tree (or something like that) so I went with the 5 gal. Thanks to your video I now know how often to fertilize the tree as well as how to ascertain the amount of fertilizer to use. Thank you Mr. Urban Gardner. 👍😄 as I said before New Subscriber so I will search to see if you talk about pruning plants, that is an area I struggle with.
I re-found you! Discovered you in 2018 with your strawberry vids now Private. Loved them though no success, my fault. Moved very recently from NY 6B to Johns, FL 9A. Lost interest during Covid, took up bread making. I got rewlly good, too good, 20 lbs woth of mistake but they all tasted so good! Bought my first lemon tree here in FL just this week, a Meyer Improved and needed tips for success. Searching I found that voice! I knew it was you. Voila, there you were! Retired now so I have more time to do what should be done. Subscribed to your new channel and will be a regular though I have to take the veggie growing slowly until I adjust to this terrible soil and hot weather, oy, it gets hot here. Glad I found you. I'm sure I'll have questions along the way but will view your vids first. So happy you are still out there. Stay well. Keep on posting!
Thanks dude! Obviously by looking around your garden you must know what your doing! I've lived off grid now since 2015 at 8,500 elv and have been working on a food forest up here I have to carry in all my water so it's been rough but I have 5 apple trees and a pear tree for 5 years now. They are established but haven't fruited yet. I got them from rootstock at an orchard I worked at. I also this winter pruned them all and took the Scion and used cinnamon to root them in pots. I also germinated apricot and palisade peach and picked up some mulberry seeds this year to plant. Being as if I live in the middle of the forest I believe the way to go for me is going to be growing these trees in pots like this. At least till they get established and I can put them in the ground Appreciate your knowledge here and you seem like a person who has really found peace within your gardening. I moved from the city of Phoenix deep into the woods of the Rockies of Colorado. It's been a real ride but I also find peace in the wilderness and also in gardening. I plan to cash out of this work force soon as I'm 57 and running circles around kids 3/4 of my age and it's about killing me. Great stuff my friend! PeAcE 😁✌️🌱
Hello there fellow nomad. Yes peace comes with a relationship with my creator and gardening. I'm not on youtube much, because I spend a lot of time on my off grid property in Washington away from California. Looks like you are moving forward and doing everything right. Thanks again and keep doing what you are doing .
Thanks for the information. When i got my citrus it had bark in the soil. When i transplanted them i used straight out of the bag cactus mix with lots of sand, but they all started to die. I think the basic city water caused some problems and i think the cactus soil was lacking. So i added vinegar or lemon juice to the water and started to see green buds forming. And i put them outside. I just this evening transplanted from plastic to terra cotta. The roots are not full, but there was no rot. The new soil is a mix of sandy cactus soil, loamy cactus soil, and a coarse orchid mix. I added slow release 5:3:8, blood meal, worm castings and a little more pearlite. The orchid mix is fir bark, perlite, and charcoal. I watered them in with 2 different liquid fertilizers. A standard liquid fertilizer and a marine base liquid fertilizer. Tomorrow i will find some worms! They are small so i used two one gallon pots and a half gallon. Anything else i can do? Two, Mayer lemon and a naval orange have no leaves, just tiny buds forming. The pondarosa lemon has a couple of leaves and the stems have been dying back. The trunk looks ok. Help if you can! Please and thank you. All the best! I like what you do!
Not worried! Remember the messiah states that he is the vine and we are the branches. And any branch that abide in him, he will abide in them. And brach that bears good fruit shall have an increase. So literally sista I am a brach that bears good fruit. HalleluYAH John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
I put worms in all my containers as well. Have some 5 gal grow bags that have have had worms in them for a few years. Find them when I repot the bags. Always surprised to see them hanging in there after a drought or mild freeze. Just have to keep the soil damp and give them something to eat. I put leaves in the bottom of the bag and mulch with straw and/or leaves. Sometimes they get banana. 🙂
You are so welcome! You don't have a phone? Awe Geez! Well all of us won't have them soon as the grid is going down. Miss you guys. Say hello to your husband okay.
@@elderyehudahwatchmanoftheg8425 yup we don't have any now, I will tell him 😊. BTW what grid is going down lol ? I never got the 💿 of your videos so I am going by notes but is confusing how and when to feed blueberries if is only 1 month just wondering, although i did feed when flowers showed blessings to both the Lord is good beautiful garden you created...
Shalom my king! You know the FATHER is working with you and in you when every single video is just knowledge! And knowledge that others don’t speak! You are truly special and chosen! I mean, your garden is a witness for you! Look what your labor has created! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and completely in order. How many people can say that about their garden? And will their garden be a witness for them or against them? Because even nature herself will speak out against the evil people do and have done! HalleuYAH! Let thy works speak for you my king, for that is why scripture teaches us in Ecclesiastes 5:2, Let thy words be few. You are a good tree! Keep producing good fruit and praising your FATHER Elohim YAHUAH! Be blessed in HIS holy name, YAHUAH! Shalawam!
Oh HalleluYAH! All praises to the all mighty, the one who sits high up on the throne. The Great I am! The Alpha and the Omega. HalleluYAH! Yes my dear Isha The garden will testafy against all who have brought defide, strife and separation between their brothers and sisters. I will also leave you with a scripture as well. Leviticus 19:19 Context Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. (19) Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
Your garden is beautiful. I just bought some meyer lemon and some key lime trees. They're about 1' to 2' tall and look in good shape. They're in little pots and so far I set them outside and put some water in them since they were light weight they were so dry. Any tips for how to keep them happy in the Pacific Northwest? They probably liked the 108 degree temps we just had, but that isn't the usual weather. Should I transplant them into bigger pots? If so I will add worms. Would grow bags be good to use instead of plastic pots? They "air prune" roots and tend to dry out quicker.
Love this! Thank you for the tips as always! Ive followed your fertilizer recipe, no failure. Trees (potted) love to be fed on a monthly basis. I can tell when I am nearing another feeding cycle, my trees show it. What watering wand do you use? I bought one but it does not release water as beautiful as yours does.
I have a deciduous tree in Meyer lemon I got it about a month ago. I just re-potted it into a 5 gallon bucket I put 3 inches of dirt to inches of household food scraps and filled it with soil and put the water off of my the king garden vegetables on top and I watered it just a little not enough for it to come out of the holes hopefully soak through to the routes that I do the right thing?
Hi OBUG Love your videos and contents. I live in South Florida. Have this Myer lemon and key lime in a container. Need to up pot and separate. My concerns are:1they are blooming & I am not sure if this is the right time to uppot/separate. Thanks for your expert advice.
Very informative and no if’s and maybes very straight forward and easy steps to follow. Waiting for my plants to arrive any advise for dwarf citrus plants is it the same steps or different for adding nutrients?
I love your content ❤ I’m growing my own herbs this year, I’m tired of buying from the store. Do you mind sharing a good soil or soil mix for herbs? I’m buying a planter raised bed. What is a good soil to repot Meyer lemons? Thank you!
Hi and welcome. As for herbs a good planting mix not potting soil is what you want for raised bed planting. Also purchase some good quality compost and mix it in the top 4 inches. As for citrus soil. Please watch my citrus playlist. There so much information there you arr going to love.
Very informational. I love your garden, looks like a great place to meditate. Are your containers made from regular 2x6 lumber or is it pressure treated? Great job!
Just found your channel and I appreciate it very much. I was wondering if you had any tips on obtaining very large pots. I noticed the ones in this video were very nice. I am a college student and I currently took over an abandoned greenhouse on campus. I Have many citrus and banana that are growing extremely fast and I cannot find a decent pot. I am considering the fabric pots.
What a great video, thank you! I have a nice lemon tree for two years now but i never fertilized it, i didn't understand it's importance. But i bought a fertilizer today, a 7-7-7 formula, i hope it's good because there wasn't much choice. Can you tell me what the name is off that wooden stuff on top of your soil? Maybe i can order some of that. Thank you my friend :) - by the way, my surname is Meyer, i never knew i had a lemon tree named after me lol .. I live in Sicily, so the climate should be good enough. I'm also about to plant some olive trees, from the pit.
Peace. Thank you for sharing this great information. I have a new Meyer lemon tree from clippings. It’s in my south facing window in my Chicago 3rd floor apartment. I currently had leaf drop I think due to shocking the roots by watering with cold water when I typically water with warm/room temp. Anyway, it’s growing new leaves and even had 2 flower buds. The leaves aren’t dark green rather a lighter green color. I didn’t feed fertilizer all winter since October last year because I was instructed to not fertilize during winter months but I just added fertilizer last week. I really want my tree to be at it’s healthiest state and produce much fruit. Do I follow the exact tips that you’ve given, for my indoor chicago apartment baby Meyer lemon tree? Is it producing fruit too quickly? Should I prune it even though it’s still so young? Any tips would help. I wish I could send you a picture of the tree. Thank you for any help you give. 🙏🏾☀️🌱🍋
