Great pruning tips for your citrus tree

Horticulturist Tony Sarah gives Susan Billings advice on pruning citrus trees.

[@domallan7739]

I really liked this video as most people go on and on about the same tips for pruning citrus. This was short and concise. Excellent.

[@alexarias5717]

Thank you for this! We live in Maryland and maybe 6 years ago my dad found a grapefruit seen that was sprouting a leave in the grapefruit bag we got from cosco one day. He planted it and now it's over 6 feet tall. It's getting a lot more sun this year and it's growing fast, this info is very helpful

[@eduardoledezma6301]

Thanks for the advice the best video ever for pruning citrus trees....

[@kathleenhoopes9362]

It would be a lot more helpful If the camera focused on the tree and not on Tony’s face.

[@swmarizona]

Thankyou for doing this video, next time show better detail of what is being cut, maybe even just a graphic drawing, skip the music, just irritating.

The music makes it difficult to hear the speaker

[@jerleanbrackbill2885]

Satsuma turned partially black. Cut that piece off. Only 1 flower. Didn't produce but shot lot of long branches. Not sure if I should prune those long branches or try to train it like an umbrella. I live just outside Savannah Georgia. Wish we could post pictures on this page

[@DingDong-ng9gi]

THANK YOU.VERY HELPFUL

[@anne-mariegarcia5926]

It would have been nice if the camera would have show the cut once cut instead of going back to the face so much.

Hello greatings from inday here , good tips stay connected.

[@ReaperessRogue]

Hey, I have this one branch on my orange tree thats just sagging down and personally I dont like it and I wanna remove it. Would that be okay? Meaning, it wouldnt hurt the tree in any big way or something. Im still new to gardening.

[@kashifr9970]

I just planted a citrus tree and on one branch I see spikes. I am wondering if that is normal or do I need to prune that branch. Thank you

[@lemontea128]

Kashif R it depends where it’s at. Usually branches with spikes are rootstock growth. Most citrus trees are grafted onto a rootstock. If that growth with spikes are below the graft union, you should remove it before it takes over the tree.

Hello , should i prune a small orange tree less than a 1 m eter height with lateral branches falling to near ground level?

[@tonyb8660]

they show the guy's face and hardly none of the tree....

[@salmantariq3118]

you are right exactly

[@131277stefan]

Why do u destroy your video with that unnecessary noise behind you might call music?

[@BlakesNaturelife]

Great tips

[@motafarraghe]

Concise!

Can orange gows in cold climate in hilly area

[@queenminks28xd64]

My orange tree is really tall. Would it be ok to shorten it? Or will it die?

[@eduardoledezma6301]

Just the tiny new branches that are coming out of the older branches and any dead branches.

[@sharins2265]

ugh whats with the music? I can't hear or concentrate sorry!

[@Lion-dq9uj]

My tree does just fine with no pruning

[@zafarbekahmedov9132]

Unprofessionally shot. Why would you show the person's face most of the time instead of showing what he is doing?

[@margamac2]

Zafarbek apple ...I ABSOLUTELY AGREE! This was SO annoying, to say the least. I wanted to see even MORE of a close up of the pruning. No need to see the gentleman's face all the time.

[@dlhvac1]

You never prune citrus when in bloom

[@kulchayap.4052]

Music is irritating.

[@wt3447]

He is good but the Camera is not target the right area. No common sense.

I HAVE GROWN FROM SEED A 6 FOOT HEIGHT ORANGE TREE WITH THORNS AND THIS IS 8 YEARS OLD BUT NO FLOWERS AND NO FRUIT ................ WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

[@doninventura9474]

You grew from a seed...that is what's wrong. I think most good fruit is grown on grafted trees. Talk to your local Nursery.

[@citic101]

yes i will ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Before there was grafted trees i would assume that citrus fruits must have been grown from seed ? if you want your oranges to be the copy of the orange you took the seed from you graft, quicker too i guess , you can grow apple trees from seed and yes they want come true but you will get fruit

[@shredxlean]

you might as well graft stuff onto the tree, that would be much more useful, you could probably make a fruit salad tree which would be cool

[@alexarias5717]

@@doninventura9474 What is a grafted tree??

[@doninventura9474]

@@alexarias5717 I don't know all the technical aspects of this but basically it means that the roots of the tree are from a strong tree, and the above-ground portion is from the tree that bears the fruit you want. They must be similar, i.e. you can't mix apples and oranges. If you live near a garden center, go there and "pick the brain" of some of their help. You can also use an existing tree as the basis, and graft onto it a branch from a tree that bears good fruit. If that branch will prosper, it will produce the fruit you want.

[@demaris2810]

The music is too loud.

[@substation996]

Annoying music...why?

[@gordonwells1626]

The tree and the pruning should be the focus, skip the pruner, his voice in the background is enough. Show his hands, secateurs and the pruning site before and after. Skip the corny music as well. No one listens to that crap in the garden.

You are pruning at a wrong time

[@lemontea128]

Can I ask when’s the best time you would recommend one do the pruning?

[@Badgerius]

Absolutely awful advice.

[@evadupleich6194]

don't care

[@mariecurie8700]

What a horrible editing. When he explains, I want to see the tree, not his face. The worst shooting ever.
