In other words removing blooms in the first year is enough. There is so much information on growing citrus trees, especially those in containers. As a master gardener and citrus specialist where much of my training as a intern was out in the orchards. I have learned a great deal about citrus and have been growing them in containers now for more them 12 years. Keep up the great work.

@New Garden Road - Thank you for sharing the video. When is the best time to prune citrus (or any tropical plant) in North Texas? I bring them inside of the garage every year :( Should I do that during early November or Late March? I am not consistent of pruning; I guess I am doing major mistakes. I would appreciate your valuable suggestions. Thank you.
@newgardenroad
3 жыл бұрын
I generally prune them in March as I apply fertilizer, and amend the soil. I do prune them as needed throughout the year for shape, and to remove dead branches. Ultimately I think that it's ok to prune them any time of year as long as it's done properly so the trees can heal. Many times it depends on if they are holding fruit, in which case I am more likely to let them be.

Liked your video. Well-presented. Straight to the point. However, I am still looking for more basic information. It's days of 19 degree highs this week in Michigan. This is my first time working with citrus. I rooted a bunch of Kaffir cuttings and they are taking well under lights in vermiculite. The few I tried in Happy Frog are alive but have lost leaves. They have been in cups for about 3 months. I need to know when to start fertilizing and when to pot up. If anyone can suggest a video covering this info, I would really appreciate it.
@newgardenroad
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I don't have another video to recommend for your specific question, but it sounds like you're on the right track rooting with vermiculite. You could also use perlite or a seed starting mix. The Happy Frog may hold excess moisture for a longer period which could lead to rot. Make sure your cups have drainage holes too. Do you know when the last average frost is for your area? If not you might search for that information from a local county extension service. Those cuttings will be more sensitive to frost for their first few seasons and will always need protection from temperatures below 32 degrees. I would look for daytime highs consistently above 50 degrees before moving them outside and you could start fertilizing them at that point. As for potting them up I recommend waiting until the roots are well developed and have filled out their current container. That could take a season or more. Since some are in vermiculite they may just need to be re-potted with a potting mix such as the Happy Frog. I would look for root development and new leaf growth before doing that and choose a container about the same size as they are in now. I hope that helps!

Hi, thanks so much for the helpful content! I just recently got into gardening and have an in-ground semi-dwarf 6-foot Eureka Lemon tree on my property that is about 10 years old. It hasn’t been fertilized regularly and looks a little neglected. I noticed it has a ton of new flower buds coming up, but not as many leaves. There are a some, but not nearly enough. A few of the branches were dead, so I cut them off. But there are many stems that have flower buds growing, but no leaves. I can also see a few new leaves popping out on different branches. I would like to revitalize it this year, so I bought the Dr. Iron, Fish Fertilizer, and a balanced 10-10-10 granulated fertilizer. My backyard soil also has a lot of clay in it, so I was thinking to agitate it a little bit and mix in some cactus soil along with the fertilizers. Are there any other techniques/products you would recommend? Should I add all the fertilizers at the same time? I live in Southern California, so the weather is pretty consistent, but the tree’s location only allows partial sun. Thanks so much and keep up the awesome videos!!
@newgardenroad
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! I think you're on the right track with your Eureka. It should be fine applying all of those fertilizers at once. If the granulated fertilizer that you purchased is a slow release, then that should be no problem. I recommend topdressing with a high quality compost under the canopy at the same time, and twice a year thereafter (spring, and fall). That will benefit the soil immensely over time, and your citrus tree will be much more resilient. Let me know how things are looking in a couple of months, and best wishes!

Liquid seaweed can be applied as a foliar spray and offers a lot of overall support. Depending on your fertilizing regimen, consider adding a high nitrogen fish emulsion to the mix. That combination can be applied every 1-2 weeks throughout the growing season. Issues with scale insects can develop rapidly, and physical removal with a rag and soapy water can be effective for small infestations.

Because of what you said about citrus being treated, I asked Gurney’s about it. They did not answer so I asked again and again and again. I finally said I would write my senator if I did not get an answer. They finally wrote and said it “may be treated.” So the tree is 3 years old. So how long would you wait - 2 years? I won’t buy anything from them again. I should have read the reviews and I would not have bought from them in the first place.

All the lemons are still fairly small and I'm noticing the leaves don't look so nice and a lot of the stems are starting to lose a few leaves. Second, I've noticed the roots have grown out of the drainage home into the ground below😳. Any suggestions? If I "uproot" it, it'll probably kill everything. And I'm not sure what regimen to use to fertilize at this point to help it....
@newgardenroad
4 жыл бұрын
Oh wow, that's a little bit of a jam, but it sounds like your tree is still young, so it should start producing more regularly going forward. I have a few suggestions: 1. It sounds like your tree is hungry, definitely consider fertilizing regularly with a fertilizer higher in nitrogen (the first number in the NPK). I regularly use a fish emulsion product rated 3-1-1, it really helps produce leaves, and build fruit. 2. Apply a liquid seaweed product regularly. This helps to regulate growth, and adds vital micronutrients, but it also helps to counter balance any stress the tree is experiencing. 3. It sounds like your tree is growing in a container or pot, and it may have outgrown it. Depending on how rooted it is into the ground, you might consider investigating the root ball of the tree by gently removing it from the container for inspection. This would probably require clipping some of the roots that have gone into the ground. If you find that it's pretty root bound (roots swirled around tightly), consider potting it up, or planting it in the ground. If it's severely root bound in it's container, that can significantly impact the trees ability to uptake water, which could cause some stress. Doing this will shock the tree, and it may drop more leaves, and a lot of fruit, but it's likely a necessary step. It's entirely possible that you could pull some of the fruit through though. Just follow up with some fertilizer, and seaweed. It wouldn't be a bad idea to clip the roots going into the ground, apply a seaweed solution, and then wait a couple weeks before looking at the root ball. That will give it time to respond before you work on it further. 4. Know that it's very common for citrus to drop some fruit several times throughout the growing season. They will often set abundantly, and then drop fruit due to limited capacity. I hope that helps!

Unfortunately, it's gotten pretty large (about 6' while in the pot) and don't think I can even check the root ball without breaking the pot. Maybe it's time to try to plant it 😟. I'll first try to cut the roots and add fertilizer and seaweed. Only other question then is, the soil I'd need to plant it in is clay and it doesn't drain well. Is that suitable? Guessing I'll have to dig a bigger whole and add other soil initially. Any suggestions for that?
