Youve done a marvelous job on your citrus. I am so impressed with how tall they are, especially the VPL. I had to pink lemon trees and they were so bushy and i could never get them to look so standard. Did you start yours tall and straight or did you have to prune and train them?

Thanks! When I bought it the tree was already in a fairly decent bushy shape, so I've just maintained it over the years. But pruning will encourage the shoots to branch out and get a bit bushier

Hi. I see the string of the roots from the lemon tree in my container is growing above the soil. Will this be a problem?

Great video thanks for the helpful tips. I was recently gifted a key lime tree so i don't know much about citrus trees its about 4-5 feet tall N have it potted . I have a 4 inch branch on the graft line also only single leafs going up for first foot should i prune those ?

If it's on the graft line I would go ahead and prune it. There's a good chance that shoot came from the root stock below the graft...better safe than sorry. I have a key lime tree too, and I love it! The limes are delicious.
