Comments (15)My in ground trees are in soil inundated with phosphorus. so i have 24-8-16 Miracle grow in which I added 8-0-4 at a quantity to get a 48-8-28 mix and used that mix on my in ground tangerine trees at 1/2 strength. I also add 28-0-4 to a 24-8-16 for my citrus trees sharing root space with vegetable plants. The available light to the veggies is the limiting growth factor and much of the nitrogen goes to the citrus trees. I may be in error with the plants sharing the soil with citrus. I cannot tell yet...See MoreLemon Tree Expiriment
Comments (9)I have two Meyer lemon seedlings about 5 inches tall with 4 true leaves. I just discovered that they are not true from seed ( they probably will not be like their parents). Also, it may take up to 10 years for them to produce fruit. What kind of lemon are yours?...See MoreWhy won't my lemon tree bear fruit
Comments (8)U have 2 remember that when u replant something outside (or inside) it takes a while 4 it 2 acclimate 2 where u've planted it. The roots 1st have 2 establish themselves, using the tree's energy there. Once the roots r happy with where they r, u'll c new growth in branches n leaves. Citrus likes acidity. U can mulch it with acidic bark. They like 2 stay moist. (Ground n leaves). N they have 2 have some kind of humidity in drier climates. I've seen many comments saying 2 use 5-1-1 fertilizer, a ratio of 3-1-1 is better 4 ur tree until its established, then 5-1-1. I am in Idaho n have a 10 year old kumquat tree n a 2 year old lemon tree. 4 a taller tree prune the bottom branches off n 4 a fuller tree prune the upper branches. Good luck....See Moremyermike_1micha
