I needed this video last year for my valencia orange tree! Guess what I'm doing tomorrow!?! I'm nervous but feel much better about it after your video. Val is VERY straight up and I need her to stop that and grow a beautiful canopy. Wish me luck!
I use a home made blend called 511. 5 parts pine bark 1 part coarse #3 perlite and 1 part binder (soil of choice) 1 tablespoon of dolomite lime per true gallon. I modify it to 512 to combat the Texas heat I use osmocote plus monthly and foilage pro weekly.
I prune from spring to mid fall. But I have a long growing season. So from Marchish to mid October I prune. I give the new growth a few weeks to toughen up. But I’m a go big or go home guy
I’m getting ready to take the leap with a first trim for my trees. Wish me luck!
Good luck!! Let us know how it went!
Looove what your Orange Frost looks like. Citrus goals.
What a compliment!! Thank you!
Very good tip. Got me motivated to trim my citrus before brining them inside.
Most welcome sir!
Excellent looking trees 🌳. Thanks for the tips

Totally agree with Summer pruning, and the idea of having a long term strategy for the tree. 🎉
Thank you sir! Some people put their trees in a container and forget about it. But some don’t. I feel like awareness and pro tips are huge
Great Tips !
I've been working on balance this summer- thanks to thos video I'm going to start working on shape and branch strength
Sooner you start on the strength of the scaffolding branches, the better you will be down the road

Thx! Great info for this newbie! Would you prune right before taking in for winter or only during summer? How about while indoors at all?

Can you summer prune if you tree has fruit on it?
Yes you can. I just do light cuts when their is fruit.
