Just to be clear, it's best to remove fruit from new citrus trees for the first two growing seasons in order to avoid broken limbs and prioritize root development. More tips here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/yi8htPZRo7c/v-deo.html
I've had a bypass pruner for almost 20 years. This year the screw fell out and I can't find it. I need a replacement screw and nut. Also, give your trees some silica every couple weeks. Silica will strengthen the cell walls so they can hold more weight. This also helps your trees fight pests, mold, and disease.
Great video Scott. A note on pruners - I find anvil pruners better than bypass pruners for larger trees. They're less prone to twisting which is really useful on bigger/hardy branches and deadwood. I find they require less force than bypass pruners too. Greetings from Sydney, Australia
I move them inside occasionally through extended hard freezes, but I keep them in an unheated high tunnel greenhouse structure for a majority of the winter months. That has been my approach for the last 8 winters and so far no losses, even through the 2021 winter storm.

Hello Sydney, Australia! 😎 Thanks for the insight on anvil pruners!
Im in the Austin area. Where do you get your pine straw mulch?
The Natural Gardener 👍✨
What size pots do you have them in?
16-18” diameter or 10-12 gallons 👍🏼✨
Don't you move them inside when it freezes? Mine always die in SA when I don't.
