Why do we have to prune baby little lemon tree?
Hi Rifat Sultana! First of all you should prune the tree to give more strength to the remaining branches and leaves. Then when you prune it, if possible, do it in a way that favors the shape you want the tree to have as it continues to grow. But be carefull not to exagerate on the pruning. For young lemon trees the pruning should be minimal as I show in this video. Nice question! Thanks!
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD Thanks
Any updates on the lemon tree saplings ?
@@DEATHCOMETH4U As you didn’t get a reply I’m guessing maybe they died?
@@anythingbootneck they still growing fine just slow
Finally! Thank you! I don’t know how many videos I had to watch to get this one! You made it dummy proof thank you, amateur grower here! And all that kept coming up is grafting 😓 Thank you!!!
Hi Angel-Lee Geraghty! I am really happy that this video was useful. What I love doing is to share knowledge of how to do stuff, and believe me I get happy when somebody says it was useful. Thanks a lot for the positive comment! 🙂
Thanks for this video. I have several baby lemon tress grown from seed and didn't know how to prune them. This video really helped! Hope we can see what those trees look like now. :)
Hi Adashki! I am happy that this video was useful for you 🙂 I will make un update on the lemmon tree in the future!
Fantastic baby lemon tree pruning tips. Received a baby variegated pink lemon tree for Mother's day and it has been happily growing on our back porch here in Missouri ♡
Hi Fairy! That is good to know! Thanks for sharing your story 🙂

Hi Tania! I am glad it was useful! 🙂
Excellent. Thanks.
Thank you I'm going to try I'm learning to propagate plants too
Hi Tina c! Plant propagation is also very interesting. It is also a good ideia for video: lemmon tree propagation video 😉
Very good! Simple and brief. Like it.
Hello Jemi Joyland, thanks for the comment! I am glad you liked the video!
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD My pleasure to promote good videos here on YT. All the best!

Excellent information to prune young citrus mine is very young like yours but it’s in poor condition it’s grafted from Pakistan it got two branches at top any suggestions will be appreciated many thanks again please do help
I have a lemon tree that is shooting up in the center. I pruned it. And now it has 2 stalls running up. The 2 other stalks on each side are catching up but not as much. Is it ok to prune it again 2 months later? My tree is probably 7 months old
My baby lemon tree has grown tall, it's about 30 cm tall now, is it too late to prune it so it gets bushy? And how can I do it?
how long does it take for new leaves to start growing? I pruned my young citrus tree and its been a while. My other citrus trees starts showing signs of new leaves and branches in just 2 - 3 days after pruning. I live in the equator so mostly sunshine with heavy rainfall.
I have huge leaves coming off the top. Should I prune them?
Be careful when you want to grow your tree in height! It might get top-heavy due to the lack of side shoots that are not thickening up the main trunk. I would advise you to grow some sacrificial shoots that are just there to thicken up the main trunk. When you are satisfied with the thickness then you can just cut these shoots off. If that shoot gets too vigorous, then you can trim it.
How big do they need to be before you start pruning? My babies that I started from seeds are half the size of yours.
thank you!
You welcome! I'm glad it was useful
Can you use the leaves for tea or anything?
Mine is almost 1 ft tall with lots of fruit buds. Scared to prune it 😭😆
dont prune it , as lemon tree dont enjoy or profit from that it will arm it
@@staxzdemon that isn’t true you have to make sure it’s strong enough
@@procrystal646 well yeah when its more tree like you can cut some off that is for sure yeah ! like a bit older
How
how do i fix my lemon tree since the base is to thin to support the tree? so it falls over all the time
Hi Kylees, I recomend putting a stick parallel to the main trunk and then tie the trunk to the stick for it to get in an upright straight position. At the same time position the tree in a way that it catches sun only on the oposite side from which it tends to fall. In a few months it will likely solve the problem. I had a similar problem solved this way.
Hi. Will lemon from seed produce fruit? Or do we need to graft when it mature?
They can, but it takes ages (5-10 years minimum) for them to do so. If you just want the fruit then just get a grafted tree from a nursery.
I have accidentally grown lemon plants from discarded seeds in my money plant pot.. I have 15 plants and 6 are a good 4 inches tall .. I transferred them into separate pots .. so far so good.. roots are very long and strong.. now the main question is , will they grow to an adult plant ?
Hi Amrit Kaur! The answer is... yes. If you give them the proper care they will grow to an adult plant.
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD thanks for the encouragement!
You welcome 🙂
My lemon tree looks more like a lemon bush but I've been scared to prune it bc it's barely over a foot tall
Hi there, of you dont want to prune the lemon tree there is no problem! As I said the pruning will help making the branches or trunk stronger and will help you shape it as it grows if you want to.
I want my seedling to branch out - right now mine only has 1 branch. Will cutting off leaves where I want a new branch work? Or should I cut from the stem itself instead?
Hi qtbeauty95! I would preffer cutting a leaf because it is less invasive. Usully whent you cut a leave a small branch or leaf starts forming.
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD Thanks I'll give it a try!
Hi qtbeauty95! So did you try cutting leaves for new branches to form? Did it result?
You would need to cut/trim the stem to encourage branching, cutting off a leaf doesn’t do anything for that
I have to say I appreciate you trying here but there isn't much content here. I have 2 hydroponic lemon trees that I'm not sure what to do with and now I have more questions after watching. Do you have a tree with more than 5 leaves that could be more informative?
Can you show progress or benefit of pruning ? That will be more helpful
Hi Prabhu Desai! Yes I can make a video of the progress. After the spring and summer, after it has more growth, I can show the progress. Unfortunately because of over watering, 1 lemon tree didn´t make it threw the winter. It is very important not to overwater the young lemon trees because it rottens the roots. In the winter never water it more then 1 time a week and be very contained in the ammount of water you put.
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD thanks for the tips
Which one didn’t make it? Bushy or tall?
is there a part 2 , for the progress?
Hi Regina kocx! I was not planning on doing a second video to show the progress, but it's a good ideia. I will think about it. Anyway soon I'm putting a video about how to grow a lemon tree from seed. I think you'll like it!
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD yes please, I need that information too ! Looking forward to your second video
The first tree-How did you get the branches at the bottom?
Hi Karenbytherideau! I dont understand your question. Can you explain?
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD Thank you for following up. My lemon tree is just a straight single stock- just over 2 feet tall. I really want it to have branches like you have so near the bottom of the stock like your example, but perhaps this is not possible?
I am nor aware of a natural way to make branches grow near the bottom of the stock. What I know is that if leaves appear on the bottom, if you cut them, you stimulate growth of a branch in that same place. Other thing I have noticed is that seeds from different kinds of lemons produces lemon trees with different shapes, appearance and branch distribution (at least when they are small plants), so you can try to germinate lemon seeds from diferent lemons, and surely you will have different shape on the plants. Hope this helped. Thanks for your question!
@@HowtodoChannelWORLD yes! Thank you!
