  • How To Grow Lemon Trees From Seed Update! Many of you have been asking for this update! Im sorry its taken so long! I tried pruning the lemon trees too aggressively which then led to over watering. I managed to bring some back to life but ended up only keeping one fore space requirements. The main lemon tree is doing well now and im going to look forward to the many years and hope i can get lemons!

    Ok let me share some pruning thoughts. First, If you want a tree to grow upward faster remove the lower leaves and branches, and keep doing so as it grows. And cut them off as they are just getting started. This is how you would prune it in your yard. You don't want branches near the ground. Second, Remove any big leaves that won't grow into branches, that are growing from the main truck. Always remove dying leaves so the plant doesn't waste its growing energy on trying to make them healthy again (because it can't). You topped off the lemon tree at too young of age. As it grows it will branch out. Go somewhere that has well pruned trees and really look at them. Good luck, great videos, thanks for teaching.

      @@buttercup3030 basically lots of light, don’t overwater, don’t overprune, fertilize regularly. Different methods work for different people, so if you want to grow trees you just have to be patient and prepare for a lot of trial and error. A good way to learn what works for you could be to plant lots of the same seed and give them slightly different care. That way, it’s less of a setback if you lose some along the way.

    In my experience in my 2 years of gardening school, when pruning fruit trees, avoid taking much more than about 30% of the total plant. Otherwise it’s gonna be too stressful for them. I think this is especially true about trees growing in pots as opposed to in the ground. Trees in the ground are a lot hardier and can take harsh pruning.
    Also, I only water my potted lemon seedlings when the soil is almost completely dry. Lemon trees seems to prefer that.

  • @jenijean81

    I had a lemon tree that was 5 years old. I thought for sure I killed it. All the leaves fell off and it never did anything else for like 6 months as I waited and hoped for new growth. I gave up and chopped it down to the base so I could pull it and use the pot. I noticed a tiny green leaf just under the soil so I reported it in a new pot with new soil. It's been a month and oh my I have so much new growth! I have no idea how it will turn out, but it lived!

    My lemon sapling was outside during the winter, but was covered with thick plastic. During a deep freeze, we also had a rain that bogged the top of the plastic down and touched the tip of the sapling. The new growth at the top died from the frost, unfortunately. But, about a month later, the sapling spit of seven new sets of leaves from all types of places! Now it is growing vigorously again with all of its new growth!

    Thank you for your video. Its always great to see you busy with your plant babies. The first time I pruned my citrus trees, I had a similar problem. Here are a few tips that I learned from an arborist. The best time to heavy prune citrus is when they are dormant. If they are actively growing, they can go into shock and die. Reduce the water and shorten the amount of light they get to help trigger the dormancy period. When pruning woody plants, make sure to only reduce the canopy by 1/4 its size each time you prune. This will prevent shocking the plant and will encourage the flush of new growth you want. You can also shape the tree by pruning back to the growth node that is facing the direction you want the new shoot to grow. Hope this helps with the survivors. Currently is it citrus pruning season here in CA and I've got a long list of trees to get pruned and ready for this coming summer. Have a great week. :-)

      100%! I started to grow lemon trees from seeds in 2020. I had about 4 successes, but left them in 6” - small pots for too long (small apartment) & afraid to take them outside. I lost 2 plants. After a many months of no growth: I transferred the strongest one from a 7” pot to 12” mixing in mostly peat moss and citrus nutrients and after a few days brought it outside (waited to prevent shock & because it’s summer conditions are perfect) and it’s now thriving!!! I think the peat moss to help with distribution of water, and the larger pot were the key. Bringing it outside for summer is a bonus, but I think the key is the larger pot! Now I’m looking for suggestion on how to propagate because it’s a single tall stalk, and afraid to cut the beautiful new growth off but seems like I don’t have a choice. The second smaller tree moved into the 7” pot, but could probably go larger. With some peat moss and moving outside it’s also now giving me new growth when previously it hadn’t grown and was almost on its way out.

  • @crkopacz
    @crkopacz 3 роки тому +4

    Wow. This exact thing happened to me, and again I really appreciate your work here in experimentation. One thing I can say is that they are actually super resilient, and even those dead looking ones, if placed outside in summer, will come back beautifully. I literally just pruned a couple that I started from seed a year ago - which got about a foot tall and then died (or went dormant I guess) - and they're now coming back better than ever with some summer sun and rain. Also, "Water the plant, not the pot" is a great mantra. Gonna keep that one, thanks mate!

I have it on a south facing patio & b/c we are in Ca with 90 degree weather this week I have it in very little sun but lots of light just till it settles in. I have learned never to prune more than 30% at a time & that works for me. Thank you!

Those two lemons I have are my first succesful trees that I have grown from seed! One of them is almost 30cm tall right now.
    Edit: As of October of 2022 it's around 80cm tall.

    I love it. My first tent trees were lemon. I've, also, done some apples. I've recently started some avocado. I had some similar experiences with my trees. Each looked very different by the time I gave them away.
    I'm starting to understand seasons better. I tried shaping the tree to slow growth instead of lowering light intensity and temperature. It worked to some extent with lemons (from multiple fruits) but not apples. Apples had a much more dramatic effect when I didn't give them a season. I think that citrus is more forgiving for indoor growing situations. The apple plant is definitely more in need of seasons. But, it's fun to try replicating.
    I've been using a small vent from outside to cool on chilly nights. I think the plants like the small fluctuations. So, I'm going to try varying the light intensity a smidge every night. I'm going to randomize the intensity percentage change and direction. The lights set at 50% can increase or decrease to 51%, 52%, 54%, 49%, 48%, or 46%. So, basically, a roll of the dice for setting the lights.
    We'll see where this goes.

    I’m glad they bounced back after all the pruning! I started a few types of citrus a while after watching the first video you did on these trees, and though mine haven’t grown super fast they are looking pretty good and have started to grow faster in past few months, I’ve found if you just pinch off the very tip of the tree it induces branching without shocking them too much. You can also dry the leaves from citrus cuttings and make tea if you like.

    The pruning you did was aggressive but absolutely fine and did a lot of good for the little trees. The new shoots will basically take the place of the old ones and bush out instead of growing tall and upright. You just need to give time for the tree to respond when you prune. The leaf dropping is most likely down to over watering or under fertilisation, citrus prefers long spells of drought before watering. The pruning can shock the tree but does not normally cause wilt to that degree, good job loved the update.

    A lot of seedlings that weren't strong enough ended up dying on their own, others because I was still learning and hadn't properly taken care of them. I was left with 5, and I gave away 4 to relatives and stayed with only one that celebrated its one year anniversary on Feb 16.
    Two weeks ago after repotting it I checked this video to see what I should do atp and read some comments about pruning and stuff, so I decided to remove some bottom leaves and simply cut off the tip. Two days ago I noticed that it was starting to branch out at the top 😁 Thanks for the video!

    I wanted to come back to this video and comment although it's an older video. I planted my own lemon seeds and there was absolutely some valuable info that I learned. Mainly the pruning issue. I managed to grow 3 plants. One of which has grown a lot faster than the other two. It's doing amazing, it already has bark and it's fragrant. It was growing in straight upwards so I removed ONE LEAF and it triggered A BUNCH of growth. A new branch which branches off a couple more times and new leaf grown at every leaf that was already existing. So I woulf definitely say get to pruning EARLY, it made such a difference for me and I think it'll cause my plant to grow in a nice shape. It's a bit unbalanced now with all thw growth on one side, so I removed another leaf so hopefully that'll cause another branch to grow and balance it out. Thank you for these videos!°

    Bro, you just cut them at the wrong location. You can't cut stems mid-stretch. You cut them just above where a branch comes off the stem you're wanting to cut. And yes, THEN it'll grow out 2 branches just below where you cut. Personally, I would've done one of several methods and used the cut off stem to grow an exact duplicate of that tree's genetics to get identical fruit. Don't get discouraged bro, there's a learning curve and a TON of it! 👍

    We grow a huge organic garden every year in the Catskill Mountains region of NYS and I cannot throw out ANY seeds, ever! That being said, I’ve been addicted to germinating store bought organic Lemon seeds for the last 10 years. We put them in pretty ceramic planters and sell them as a fund raiser for a charity we run. My house is usually overrun with them and before your videos never knew how or when to prune the ones I have kept. How do you prevent multiple stems from the bottom? I am sure now with bark it is too late, but I was thrilled to stumble upon your very informative videos!

      @mimosveta do you have any tips for me , some reason my almonds didnt germinate. Quick question , the walnutbplant , did you use one the are in the nut or one that are cracked and separated. Will the separated (not in the shell , and broken up ) work.

    I've been advised to get grafted lemon trees because lemon trees does not grow true to form meaning the resulting fruit most likely won't be like the parent fruit because citrus fruits are polyembronic. What do you think?

    • @husch05
      @husch05 2 роки тому

      Polyembryonic means that that more than one seedling can sprout from a seed. One seedling is a completely new plant and the other(s) are clones of the original plant. Polyembryonic seedlings grow from the tissue of the seed.

    • @TechplantChannel

      yeah you want a polyembryonic seed, but the hard part is telling which sprout is the clone lol so you gotta raise em all

    I have multiple trees growing one is mature enough that it has produced 1 big ass lemon and its been green for about 2 months or so. I think we over pruned the tree as well because a lot of leaves fell off. I was told to water them once a week as needed (if the soil is dry upto your 2nd knuckle, it needs water. Still waiting for it to ripped up and turn yellow. Not sure how long that takes. I think i read like upto 6 months.
    My other sappling is about 2 years old and looks really healthy. The ithers..idk. i gave away 2 of them to neighbors also.

    My Improved Meyer Lemon looks okay, brought it inside because it dried out too quickly in the greenhouse.
    The Bitter Orange I have growing in my bedroom is already taking over the pot and has half a dozen new branches. I need to repot both, but I don't have room right now, so I am gonna wait until early spring.

    thanks for the update. questions...I saw the previous, when you started these...were they seeds from a regular lemon ? I have two 4 foot trees that I started from seed, healthy and place them outside every summer, zone 5b. They are 5 years old...should I ever expect fruit ? I keep getting different answers about store bought fruits.

    I tried bending the apex branches over with supports which resulted in the same branching coming out without having to prune and without losing leaves. It's currently shooting out a ton of new branches. Maybe give that a try?

    I started some lemon trees late last summer, but compared to yours mine are just ridiculous... they're super small (still only about 10cm), but I guess it might have to do with me living in Norway, and winter time is super dark and cold. Let's see what spring is going to bring. (Also going to start a few more, cause I gave 2 away and someone asked to get a few as well).

    From my experience, dont prune the point of any citrus, if u want some side growth just add some nutrients and it will grow. My lemon trees from seeds usually have about 1,5 - 2m in one year and i literally have one thats 3 years old and has 6 meters. If u want a bonsai, u have to wait for it to grow for about a year or so before pruning... just let it grow a bit

    By overwatering do you mea. You never let it dry? I usually let my top soil dry quite a bit and measure is with e moisture meter before i water it. When i water i water deeply until it leaks out and have no problem. How did you "mess up" your watering?

    I find potted citrus difficult but I do love them. I guess the good news is you were able to grow your own .... kudos to you!

    Hey! Thanks for your great videos. I'm growing a lemon tree from seed too, in the UK. Some of my friends are sceptical that it will produce lemons though, because it hasn't been grown with a specific rootstock like commercially grown trees. Do you know if it will? You seem pretty confident yours will so I thought I would ask 🙂🍋

    • @TechplantChannel

    I'd love to know your care with these trees. Are you using fertilizer at all and if so, what kind? Do you let the soil mostly dry before watering or do you water it sooner? What kind of soil are you using? Cheers for the update, I re-watched the first video about these plants just the other day and I was wondering how they've been doing, perfect timing on the update, looking forward to seeing if they make it to lemon bearing!

    • @TechplantChannel
      @TechplantChannel  3 роки тому +2

      I've been using a mild fertilizer for a while just to try and get them to be stable. and im watering them when the pot starts to feel lighter.

    • @diavalus
      @diavalus 3 роки тому +1

      I tried to grow a lemon tree for a year without fertilizer and it was definitely not doing well. Was in full sun and plenty of water, while my other lemon three, about same size, in the same size pot and using same soil it was constantly fertilized and it was looking so much better. So don’t try to keep it without nutrients.

    Thank you for this video! I had a question, if you don't mind: looking back at it, what would you say would be the best watering frequency for a potted lemon seedling once it's around 10 - 12 inches tall?

    • @TechplantChannel
      @TechplantChannel  2 місяці тому +1

      It really depends on how much light it is getting because it will change the frequency but once the soil is dry on top and a tiny bit damp under then water it again

  • @peppermeat8059
    @peppermeat8059 9 місяців тому

    If you top the plant it forces the plant to grow out, if you have a lucky seed it will branch on its own but yes they do need pruning

  • @tomg5516
    @tomg5516 3 роки тому +2

    I'm growing lemons and other citrus myself too. They can handle hard pruning, but I think you topped them too early. I would have removed the lowest laterals first, to encourage apical stem thickening, and pinch the growing tips of the branches to encourage more bushiness. Then after another growing season, pruned the main stem. You should also remove the old large leaves during the prune or else it will slow down the new growth.

    • @gardenmaster2422

  • @kingjames4886
    @kingjames4886 2 роки тому +1

    it does't lose the ability to uptake water unless you trim the roots, it just requires less water because it looses less through leaf evaporation. there's nowhere to take the water up to so it sits in the pot.

I have 2 seedlings on the go and a shop bought plant from last year on the garden that got half eaten (should have kept it inside) but it has perked up a bit this year. However,the leaves have curled in. Why is that? Anyone know? They are a very health green still.
