Should I trim the dead branches on my lots of lemon tree?
I have some dead branches on my lots of lemon tree. it is about 4 ft high, should i trim them and should i trim the tree in future.
Dear Lenore,
You can certainly prune off the dead branches on your lemon tree at this point. Prune back to where the wood is green with a nice clean cut. If there is any other die back on the tree, best to prune that off as well.
Lots of Lemon is a nice compact shrub and will only require a light pruning after the tree has finished fruiting.
Now is the time to feed your lemon tree and one that we would recommend is called Dynamic Lifter for Fruit & Citrus. This product is an organic based plant food that will supply the necessary nutrients to produce good strong growth and lots of juicy fruit.
Enjoy picking your lemons.
