In this video I go over why citrus trees become bumpy, lumpy and have thick peel, not only the Lemon tree but also oranges, limes and all citrus. This is very important in all backyard gardening I will tell you how to fix it in a very simple and fast way.
Thanks so much! My 7 year old Eureka lemon 🍋 tree suddenly got some of these thick skinned fruit. I will fix it pronto! ❤
1:27 This video is mis-information The branch at the point in the video is the ROOTSTOCK that was supposed to be pruned away. This is not uncommon to happen when people do not now they are supposed to always prune away shoots from the rootstock-which can take over the tree. You need to use loppers or a proper folding tree saw to remove that branch at the base. All those other shoots coming up from the bottom also need to be pruned away.
I went back and looked and it’s definitely a sucker. I came across this video because we currently dealt with a sucker problem on our lemon tree.
Thank you for the ANSWER to this! Our neighbors tree has done just THIS! We were all like what the world but you ANSWERED IT! Thanks!
Now I know about these citrus fruits with bumps from my garden 😮. Thank you very much, Ma'am 😊.
This video is so helpful as we didn't know what is going on with our lemon tree. Some of the lemons were the regular kind and the others huge and bumpy. Glad to know that they are edible also.
Those rough lemons are delicious. I’m glad I’ve got one.
Encountered an odd ball bumpy lemon from store in bag when cooking yesterday. Did minor surgery to see if the protrusions contained anything odd, but just same composition as the skin. Pre emptive search online only showed “lemon scab” as weird brown stuff, not bumps of same color. Glad you did video, I agree, seems like a nutritional deficiency. Nature is amazing…
the video was very helpful I didn't know what was wrong with my tree. Now I know how to try to fix it so I will get juicy regular lemons
I don't think lack of nutrition is necessarily what's going on here. I have a lemon tree that produces lemons that all look like the larger ones you show here. That's because of the variety of the lemon, not nutrition of the tree. What has likely happened on your tree is that the root stock variety is growing on part of your tree while the grafted variety continues to grow on the majority of the tree.
Lack of Nutrition was definitely the cause in my grandfather’s tree’s case. His didn’t slowly produce these over time. It was 1 year normal 1 year bumpy. All the fruit. After I added soil, mulch, and some fertilizer with iron chelate, it fixed all future fruit growth. I did some field work and his soil was LACKING badly. I would definitely try fertilizer and soil first but plz test your soil ❤️😇
I had this problem on my Meyer lemon tree north of Tucson in Saddlebrooke. It was really not a "problem" it was a second variety of lemon. Pomelo lemons growing off one branch on my Meyer Lemon tree. I ended up removing the 6 inch diameter limb and now I am left with an abundance of Meyer Lemons and no more pomelo! I am happy with that solution.
Is it normal for a lemon tree to have thorns? Also, what specific fertiliser do you use? Does a traditional manure qualify to treat the soil?
Thank you for sharing....
Your topic addresses exactly the problem I have at the moment.
I will proceed as you instructed, and I will share my result here.
Thank you again!
Regards...
@fluberttaga4571, what is the result?
Seriously. If you're getting lumpy lemons you are extremely lucky, those are a variety that typically grow in Italy and they are very sweet and have a lot of oil in the skin
Depends on the cultivar, some that look similar do not have flavor.
Thank you. I love them and didn’t think about the oil, so I’ll definitely Google it
Wow really I think I’ve heard that before where did you get this info please
I have that type of lemon in my tree. I like it because it’s soft and easy to squeeze.
Excellent video
We call that lumpy hardy variety in Australia a bush lemon.
if you cut off the rootstock your tree with get a lot healthier too. For sure give your plant a feed as well
I was not expecting this. I got lemons like those large bumpy ones from a friend's garden who claimed that's the variety of lemon. Not knowing any better, I thought it was cool and unique looking, but then my lemon tree produced a few of these the same year and I was thoroughly confused 😆
I didn't understand how a common lemon tree could make a couple fruits that look and feel just like the other "exotic variety" of lemons, lol. My tree produces huge lemons that are usually normal in shape as well, like the size of a grapefruit, but also round like a giant yellow orange. Maybe that's also due to a nutrition issue since they do have rather thick pith compared to the more normal looking lemons.
I fed the trees sea mineral fertilizer this year and all the new fruit look very normal and healthy, but still on the large side. I fed the tree some ammonium sulfate, so that might be why they're robust in size this year as well.
I noticed the opposite thing happening with the avocado tree, where the fruits produced were small and had little flesh. This year the fruits are robust and are the size of the large hass avocados in the stores.
Amazing what a little nutrition can do. There's still a ways to go, but all the fruit trees are bouncing back very nicely this year.

My tree is doing that and it’s a fairly new 5 year old tree grown from the seed. I will try some fertilizer and let you know what happens
Hi Cesar you can also try testing your soil that will help you know what is missing. Place 2 tablespoons of soil in a bowl and add ½ cup vinegar. If the mixture fizzes, you have alkaline soil.
Place 2 tablespoons of soil in a bowl and moisten it with distilled water. Add ½ cup baking soda. If the mixture fizzes, you have acidic soil.
My tree has this problem exactly. My husband keeps his pile of lawn clippings from the mowing very close to our tree, which is only about three years old. Could these be supplying too much nitrogen?
i rent a house with the hugest lemon tree i've ever seen, it goes higher than the house roof, and i get boxes and boxes every season, with many rotting!!! just this last year one part of the tree has started getting these bumpy lemons!! the tree is just too huge to cut back (as a renter its not an expense i want to bear, to even get into the dirt around it to do anything!! so lumpy lemons it is
Is there spikes on the branches? I don’t know what we have
I also got pricked by one when I picked a lemon off our tree. Did your lemons have a substance on the outside that stays on your hand even after you wash em?
I think that's the rootstock that suckerd out
That’s exactly what I was thinking; too. I’m pretty sure I saw a huge sucker growing within this tree.
Like from Australia
How can it be a nutrient deficiency if the tree is producing normal lemons as well as lumpy ones? i think the tree is just too old.
@emdiggy: The lumpy one is the rootstock.
Have you seen blood limes?
thank you pretty lady
Handy
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ashley so happy you liked the video

The lemon tree caught covid 19 lol
🤣🤣🤣
The tree is heavily pruned. They suffer because of that.
Step it up and continue with telling us
I will take all of your "problem" trees off your hands 😄
ty....that solved my problem
