Hey Leadfarmer 73, it’s uncanny how much you look like my son-in-law! His name is Caribe, pronounced Careeb. I’m watching you and just had to chuckle at some of the things that you said in another video with the seeds! I’m learning a lot from you though! Tell Mrs. Lead hello. Believe it or not, my picture of me on here was taken a year and a half ago. I’m looking to expand my gardening skills. My oldest child is 45, people thinks I’m his sister or wife! What a plant based diet will do for you. Keep up the good work, and don’t ever change! You have a great since of humor!
Winters in Massachusetts are way too extreme to have lemon trees growing outside, I’m so jealous of your massive plant! Please keep me posted on when you’re ready to sell some of these cuttings, thank you so much for this tutorial!
I'm certainly going to try this method! Not only with my citrus but I want to try it with hydrangea. In Hawaii, no reputable company will mail plants to me. I have tried with cuttings from flower bouquets but failed every time. Hoping using your method will work for me.
Just bought my first lemon tree this spring and it's doing really well. I'll be taking some cuttings for sure when it gets a little bigger. Keep up the good work, nothin' but love from East TN.
Thanks for doing this video I’m a new farmer (you’ve inspired) but I just got my Meyers lemon from Starks and I wasn’t sure what soil/ mixture it needed! I know it sounds fundamental but people need these videos
Thank you so much for the lesson I was so moved to get a Meyer lemon tree when I saw your video I went out and bought one a couple of months ago and today I'm going to try what you are doing in this video you and your wife are such a inspiration thank you so much I'm going through my cancer journey and me and my husband thank you all a lot
I thank you so much. I see I am doing it wrong. I have a tree branch and it is much bigger than what you showed. I have the root grower but I got it after I put the tree in container. Should I put the root grower on then replace it?
Thanks again Leadfarmer73! I need to start my lemon trees again. My last one loss its leaves due to root damage (poor drainage from what I could tell).
Wow you are the best video-garden-teacher on the internet! Fantastic videos, you make it clear and you are great at explaining! Can I ask which climate you are in? I saw a banana tree in your garden, so I am guessing you are in California?
HOMESTEAD HEART 🤣🤣🤣🌹🌹🌹🌹 I tried to make sure that I put as much info in the least amount of time in here for ya😉🤣🤣🤣 I got you sis! Do you need another one?!?
subscribed. I have a beautiful meyer lemon tree that produced profusely this year. The December freeze caused leaf drop but I'm still doing this because when I scratched the bark is still green. Thank you.
Good morning, I came across your channel about a month ago. I like how you keep it detailed & simple. I'm from small town east of Columbia, it's about an hr drive. I wanna start a garden, but the deer are plentiful. Do you have any of the lemon trees for sale?
Good morning Lead! Question once the cuttings take root and we transfer out the cup what size container do we put them in? Do we just go a little bigger and keep going up when the tree grows or go straight to a large container?
In your experience, how cold tolerant are Meyer lemons? I have friends and acquaintances who grow them, but I had one and it died to the graft on a not so cold winter. Around 18°F and I was confused, because you’ll see some people here have some big meyer lemons.
Thanks for the video. I just bought a Meyer lemon from Lowe’s (3 gallon?) and it had some buds on it. I’m in 9a zone and the weather is fluctuating between 80’s to 105’ degrees. I was watering it every few days and it started dropping leaves and turning yellow. It’s been on the covered patio and not in direct sun. Should I wait to plant it? My backyard gets full sun from sunrise to sunset. Don’t want to plant it right now and it get scorched from the sun
Karen Christian it sounds like too much water. Citrus almost act like cactus 🌵 they like it dry but not tooooooooo dry. No need to water that much. You can plant it. It will bounce back quicker in the ground or much larger container.
Thank you and your beautiful wife for all you do and help us learn new things all the time! You guys are so much fun to watch! I've loved each and every one I've seen! You'd be proud to know my family and I have planted so many things since I started watching you and have harvested tomatoes, all kinds of peppers, salads, spinach, and green onions! I'm about to pick some green beans, squash and some cucumbers soon too! Loving gardening, thanks again for sharing and being so inspirational to us all! Guava Lead and continued blessings!
Where can I get lemon cuttings from? I live in 7A and can't get a lemon tree mailed to me from any tree company. I went on Stark bros when you were talking about tree companies. Ordered 8 trees. Missing a lemon tree in my tree collection
When are you going to have them ready, I would like to purchase one I can not find them anywhere. Your are the reason I started my garden and for that I thank you it has helped me in ways I can not begin to say it has become my safe haven. With all that is going on I am working from home and all I want to do is work in my garden I am a teacher , I know this is my last year it's been real but I'm ready to play in the dirt all day if I want to. Peace be still. Thank you and bless you and your family .
How soon will the cutting bear fruit? I have a Meyer lemon that I bought in April when I moved to north Texas. It is young but has 6 nice size lemons and just started flowering again. It is in a pot since per the nursery I should not plant it in the ground here. Anyway it in the house and doing amazing since I have a south facing window. I would like to try your cutting method but wanted to understand the timeline. Love your channel missed the day you had the cuttings for sale of Lillian🙁 next time..
My Improved Meyer Tree sapling. I had some white larva in the soil and in its roots. I repotted it, I added netting to protect it but its leaves are yellow and droopy. It seems to be in shock. I purchased it in April. It is in a clay pot. Any ideas.
Thanks for sharing. My pink lemon tree gets those same flowers & I do get what appears to be fruit but it's like they disappear. I'm not sure what's eating my fruit. Could ants eat the fruit buds?
I bought a peach tree from lowes....i got excited because I had finally found a fruit tree. I didn't realize that I need a pollinator. Of course I can't find another tree to help pollinate it...should I go ahead and still plant it? Will it survive until next when I can find a pollinator? I'm in NC 7B.....thanks
@@Newcreations2011 the leaves have a little bit of yellow on them so hopefully I can save it....they probably have the same tree that I purchased. If my understanding is correct from watching previous videos I think I need another tree that is an actual pollinator
Hello Lead.🤚🏾. Question: I bought 6 Meyer lemon cuttings from EBay but they came with no leaves, I put in a peekaboo cup with rooting hormone and it’s been 3 weeks with nothing happening yet. Should I give up and just toss them in the trash or keep hope alive that some roots will appear???
Thank you Leadfarmer73, you are the best! You’ve been my inspiration to start me a garden and RUclips channel. All praises to the Most High for helping me find you! I’m a newbie at this but I do give your channel a shoutout.

When did you start your cuttings?
I bought a tree locally. Months ago
@@raymondlagrone1235 OK, just trying to get an idea of the time frame.
How long does it take to see roots ? From the process
I have a dying tree with branches still alive, I’m going to try to do this with the branches that are still green.
Raising Disciples give it a try😉
Is the hormone required? Or just to speed things up?
Mark it just speed things up. You don’t need it. 😉
