Wow. My lemons are happy and growing like crazy. Yesterday, I had to prop up branches with sticks.
Not very attractive, but the poor little tree is still fairly young and all of the lemons are just too heavy for the limbs!
This little baby has 26 (TWENTY SIX !!) lemons hanging on it. Can’t wait to see how many make it to maturity!
I LOVE my Meyer Lemon Tree. :)
Great post. One thing I have learned is you can prune a Meyer lemon a lot. If you do it right I think you can get it so your lemons are growing closer to strong branches that can suport there weight. Well that’s what I’m trying to do.
I think you’re absolutely right, Brent. I have pruned mine already and plan to do more! I have the weak branches propped up but there are also some lemon clusters on strong branches near the trunk. We’ll see which ones make it all the way to ripe!
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
