I live in va and I have 21 lemon trees. I built a greenhouse and installed infrared light for the winter. This is the second year i have collected lemon from one of my trees.
I thought my lemon tree had completely died because of an unexpected cold snap while it was outside. It did died back but is now putting out green growth. I think I might name it Lazarus. 😉
Meyer lemons have always impressed me with their hardiness. I've had one that got left in a dark room and unwatered for three months in winter. It was putting out blossoms when I found it and watered it.
This is very helpful. I have a tree that I started from seed of which I got from my grandma's tree and now she is no longer and neither can we go back and get seeds from that tree because it was cut down but this is super helpful because this tree is very special and it's like a miracle because it's been growing very big and a pot for about 9 years and I'm just trying to maintain it till I can permanently plant it in a real yard of my own. My tree finally gave me fruit and flowers about 2 years ago. This video is so informative! 😀 Thank you for these tips because it's hanging on but it's lacking something
I've had my lemon tree for just eight months and it has a dozen blooms just sitting in my dining room window. I didn't know they have thorns! Thanks for the advice.
Hi did you grow it from seed. I took 5 seeds removed the outer layer.. place in wet paper towel then in zip lock bag. Put in the sun but I think when I put them. I the dark, they mite of reacted faster.. I have seedlings now but haven't planted them yet.. Any suggestions
This video is terrific and very timely. My Meyer's leaves have turned yellow, almost as yellow as the fruit. With the drought here this summer, I may have over compensated and over watered. I'm going to get some new soil per your recommendations and replant my girl. I just call her Beautiful 😊
Name it "Lemony-Snicket". Actually I came here to learn about your outdoor gardening tips and this video just came up next. NOW you've got me wanting to plant a citrus tree which I swore I would never do again because we live in the Panhandle of Florida and have to cover our trees during the winter----YES, even here in Florida!! But I'll try this just because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE LEMONS !!!
It's really interesting. Here in the Southern UK, most people think you can't grow citrus because our winters are too cold. It's not that, your winters are on par with coastal Georgia. It's that our summers aren't hot enough for them to ripen. Our typical winters only get down to about 26f (once in 50 year winters = 15f). US climate zones just don't make any sense here. I'm technically in zone 9b (Northern Florida/Southern Georgia equivalent), but our summers don't even quite average 70f. A polytunnel makes it possible though. I've got satsumas, kumquats and Meyer lemons growing in my polytunnel. Never thought it was possible, but it works! It's a bit dicey, as they barely ripen before the frost kicks in, but it's so much fun to grow citrus in the UK.
😂😂I'm most def subscribing to you! I love the playfulness. Most videos about trees and plants are very straight to the point. I love a good sense of humor! 😂😂
Thanks for the video and your sense of humor! What size pot did that lemon tree come in and what size pot did you transplant it to. How do you determine the correct size to move up to? And how do you know when it's time to repot it?
I didn't use any special dirt when I transplanted mine and it grew twice the size in no time and it bloomed several times. I've had it a couple years now. Was very small when I got it.
Fantastic video. Thank you! I'll repot my first Meyer lemon tree here in Chicago. It's struggling with yellow spot but it's a fighter. I think I'll name it Christina Aguilera. 🙂
Hilarious! I just got myself a little Meyer lemon tree and wanted to take the very best care of her- saw that this video had a southerner explaining stuff and knew I was in the right place! Thanks a bunch! Especially liked the alternative options for soil and fertilizer. One question: I watched a another person's video on RUclips and she mentioned that you should look for the part of the trunk that all the roots are coming out of ( it kinda looks like a peanut in the shell) , she said when repotting you should keep that part above the soil. Any thoughts or other explanations? Thanks again!!!!
I have a cumquat tree that's getting bigger by the day. No matter what I do, it never bloom and I'm afraid it never will. Your lemon tree is gorgeous and I'm jealous. 😂
Call it Sour Owie. And Dude, what a Great video. You are so freakin funny!!! I remember the video with the Garden Hose. I really look forward to your videos. So much good info and so much fun. Makes me want to finish my Greenhouse and run buy a Sour Owie. Cheers my friend!!!
We had a few pine trees cut down and the tree people put smaller limbs into the wood chipper, so is great stuff as bark dust....and I use it mixed in with the soil as I transplant it from the one gallon container into a larger container....I'd like to do that now/soon as its super hot here in Oregon....we have lots of windows w full sun so hopefully we'll have a few lemons....we have a small greenhouse we can keep heated via solar power system...but I'd like to enjoy having it inside my home.
Love the video, fun and helpful. Just purchased a Meyer lemon tree and waiting to repot. We live in zone 7 TN and have this is our 2nd attempt at lemon and olive trees. Both died last year because we tried to do it in house only. I ordered citrus tone and will repot. 2 questions please. 1.It came in a 9” pot, what size do you recommend for repot? I’d like to use a 17” unless that’s too much of a jump. 2. Sunlight - we’ve been leaving it outside in the TN heat but under a covered porch. Is direct sunlight better? Also, I like the knuckle test. I still feel like I don’t know how often to water. Have you done a container olive tree video? Thanks for the quality lessons and the laughs!
I got a lemon tree for Christmas and I repotted it into a 20 gallon pot after about a month. (The garden center suggested to do it before April) It is in a sunny spot on our back pool deck. It had LOTS of flowering blooms, and lots of tiny lemons and one about the size of a ping pong ball. We have had an unusually chilly winter for Florida and a very gray January and February. We had a horrific windy and rainy couple of days and ALL of the leaves came off the tree. What IN the WORLD????? I have looked at it and it seems to have new blossoms but no sign of leaves. I followed your repotting video …. I have it in a terracotta pot. Please helllllllppppp. Thank you in advance.
Great video ,thanks. How many times will it bloom , I got 1 small 1 a it had 1 bloom . My Key Lime has 40. I live in Tampa so it does get a good amount of sun . I just fertilized last week for all of them with a 10-2-8
Super helpful! Going to repot my husband’s Meyer lemon tree this morning - thanks for your tips! He named his tree Meadowlark Lemon - after the famous Globetrotter! 🤣👍🏻🍋
Believe it or not, I have a tree in my conservatory in Ireland and after three years it is heaving with lemons. The room is south facing and it seems really happy.
You forgot to mention that when you bring it indoors during the cold weather, and it produces little flowers, that you should pollinate them with a little paintbrush if you want fruit.
Great video, thanks! As an experiment with my daughter, I grew lemon trees from seeds out of a store-bought lemon. It's now 6 years later, there are 2 left named Fred and George. My question is will they ever fruit, or is it unlikely? They're growing fairly well, about 5ft tall with pruning, but since I live in Chicago, they're inside for a good portion of the year. Thanks..
Try to marcot any stem to be cut and transfer to new pot after a good rooting system is on ,since grown from seed delays fruiting ,I had mine and did airlayer
Likely the tree will outlive you before producing fruit; your daughter might be able to harvest fruit from it when she is in her fourties to sixties. This is why all fruit trees are grafted or rooted from the cutting of a fruit-bearing tree. From the cutting, they will start producing fruit usually before their 3rd year.
@@timjohnson3913 Well, that's a disappointing dose of reality. Still a fun little experiment, and (usually) a nice looking plant to have around the house.
@@3scapePhotos Sorry to be the bearer of disappointing news. FYI I learned this from Byron Martin, the owner of Logee’s, who has a ton of good info on citrus care on his website and youtube channel. Especially helpful if you are growing citrus in pots. Of course, your tree could start producing next year for some reason, but it seems highly doubtful. Byron claims to have a citrus tree started from seed that took 35 or 45 years (can’t remember off the top of my head) before it started producing fruit. Think about getting a couple trees from him for fruiting. His pricing is the most reasonable I’ve seen from a source I trust (though I’m new to the game) with lemon trees as low as $15 or $20.
@@timjohnson3913 That's... not terribly accurate. Citrus typically fruit 5-7 years after germination. Fruit trees are grafted because their seedlings have variable characteristics, which may or may not be desirable. That it trims a couple of years off of the time to fruit is just an added bonus.
Thanks! Got my first one this season and hoping some grow lights can supplement a little outside and inside. Curious, can you root the branches you trim?
Hello from Schulenburg,Texas 😊 thanks for sharing this video. Last year we two avocado trees lemon tree and a lime tree and the baby orange tree I'm so sad over $250 and none of them made it 😔
Beautiful tree and only wish you would have shown how to tease the roots properly, no worries thanks for reminding me about the gloves and I’m glad I am adding some pine mulch. Great looking plant brother
I went with a tall terracotta with cactus mix and I chose a harvey lemon since I didn’t want ponderosa I just heard it’s hardier and not as massive lemons
I have a potted lemon tree that I bought about 4 years ago when it had about 5 lemons on it. Since that time I've seen it go through beautiful, fragrant, and plentiful blooms only to produce no fruit. The blooms fell off. This summer it had 5 green orbs growing when I noticed a lot of ants on a couple of branches. I soaked it in water and let it dry. Because our temperature dipped below 55° we brought it inside and took it back out when it was warmer. The ants and whatever drew them are gone, flowers are blooming like crazy and s baby orb is forming. We're in 7b here in Knoxville so when should we see them turn yellow? Can I leave the tree out when temps are in the 40s like you did or did it depend on other conditions? I really enjoy your posts!
Hi, if you’d like fruit you might need to pollinate the flowers when they bud. You can do this with a soft makeup brush, just dust the flowers from flower to flower just like bees pollinate. Good luck hope you get fruit.
I leave my Meyer lemon tree outside until temperatures go below freezing. Be sure to feed your tree to support blossoms and fruit production. Also, it's still a tree so it requires a regular source of nitrogen.
I had a terrible problem with fungal knats, I used Diatamaceous earth. It also kills ants, bedbugs, cockroach... just dusted the top layer of soil and never a problem inside the home.
I plan to keep my lemon tree indoors will only using cactus/succulent soil be enough for my plant? Or do I need the cactus/ succulent soil mixed with normal potting soil? If I need a mix of the 2 soils can I do a 50/50 mix of the 2?
What could cause the outer edges of the leaves to turn brown? I have a young plant about a foot high. I up potted from the 6 inch store pot to a gal size pot. A few leaves are browning on the edges.
I received a Meyer tree as a gift this year I consider myself a pretty good Gardner this is why I was given this expensive plant, did everything from day one carefully and all the leaves have turned yellow and are falling but have alot of buds and today got my first bloom, I know It's not overwatering, or underwatering, I purchased the food the plant guy at Lowe's told me to use I've done everything don't know why all the leaves are falling. Help. However what's funny is I planted 6 regular lemon seeds last year from just my store bought lemons 3 plants came out of 6 seeds which are now beautiful dark green abt 24 inches tall, yes I heard I probably won't get any lemons and that's fine but it's smells better than the meyer lemon plant which has no smell at all, and I did nothing special to this plant except feed this year when I repotted it. Would really appreciate your response TY
Sounds like not enough nutrients in the soil, the flowers were pollinated and later on the tree realized - crap, I cannot feed them all, lemme drop some.
I mean, assuming that you water them properly (they don't like to stand in water, but also don't like drought), and that there aren't any sudden weather / temperature changes around that time - if it happens yearly. And assuming that there's no pest / diseases involved & the tree is overall healthy.
I really like your videos! to the point and a sense of humor. How about how to do cutting on Pentas and full sun plants for pots in full sun . I live in south florida
Hello. I can't find soil conditioner. Can you recommend an equivalent from a big box store? Seems like the Nature's Choice brand you use must be only available locally. TY
If I wanted to grow this indoors under artificial lights (LED), how many lumens would it need? And rather than replanting to bigger and bigger pots, couldn't you prune the roots like a bonsai?
Justin, I put a lemon tree in a pot last Fall. It looks like some baby lemons might be forming. Should I pinch them off the first year? What is your advice? Thanks! Love your videos. I’m a new subscriber!
1. Apartment patio facing North. 2. It's Autumn, ZERO direct sunlight, but bright. 3. Containers, Meyer lemon and Mexican Lime. Do I need grow lights?? At night for 8 hours?

I really like your videos! to the point and a sense of humor. How about how to do cutting on Pentas and full sun plants for pots in full sun . I live in south florida
Thanks you for share this video
He the best for planting
Should you let the pot completely fry out before transplanting your Meyer lemon?
I'd name it bruzer. Great video, thanks!
Hello. I can't find soil conditioner. Can you recommend an equivalent from a big box store? Seems like the Nature's Choice brand you use must be only available locally. TY
If I wanted to grow this indoors under artificial lights (LED), how many lumens would it need?
And rather than replanting to bigger and bigger pots, couldn't you prune the roots like a bonsai?
Justin, I put a lemon tree in a pot last Fall. It looks like some baby lemons might be forming. Should I pinch them off the first year? What is your advice? Thanks! Love your videos. I’m a new subscriber!
Leave them! They start now in February and ready to harvest in November!
@@RealALSK You’re the best! Thank you and God Bless!
@@HTX_Son you’re welcome! God bless! ❤️
