I'm so happy to hear t his video was helpful. And om sorry you did that I'm sure your tree will bounce back, mine did.

[@SladeMacGregor]

I own two key lime plants where one of them is thornless. Both grew in a soft pot, and did well. However, I transplanted the thornless key lime into the composted red-clay soil, and it took off like crazy growing to height of 9 feet with a width of 6 feet. I'm able to harvest around 4-5 dozen key limes every month and a half. I find that if I keep harvesting the key limes, then the plant is stimulated to grow more and more. It is constantly flowering. I didn't realize how much this tree loves being in the ground. I live in middle Georgia, Zone 8b.

Hi Maris, the tree is not ready to sustain fruit. Specially if it's a little tree. Give it another year. Most of my trees are at least 3 yo 4 years old when they are producing. How old is your tree? Their could be other factors too. Like not enough water or to much water.

Nice!!! I have a Persian Lime tree for 5 years, I have like some fruits, but not lots like yours, what can I do to receive more fruits? I just did a root pruning and branch pruning yesterday. I hope it will yield fruits next cycle. I have lots of flowers but they kept falling off from the tree. I live in Syracuse, NY, do you think it has to do where I live, because of the weather wise?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

From the sounds of it it's in a container. What I've noticed the most about fruit trees in containers is that they want more water during the flowering season. And I fertilize after during the warm season. Soil is soooooo important make sure it drains well, plenty of holes in the pot. I hope that helps 🙏

[@ericbiedenbach2590]

Hi, I bought a Mexican lime tree that was about 5 yrs old and transferred it into a half of a whiskey barrel and I put plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. It was flowering when I bought it and. It dropped all the flowers and never produced fruit but it looks very healthy and full of foliage. I live in Mesa, Arizona. Do you know what I can do to make it produce fruit or should I expect it to flower again this fall or winter? I don’t know what the fruiting cycle is like for this tree.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

You can leave a tree in a pot as lomg as you want but you will need to root prunenit and give some fresh soil every couple years. And fertilizer more often them trees in the ground. I usually grow them in containers and move them were ibwould like to plan them in the ground. If the tree seems to like that spot then I know its a good apot to plant it 🙂

[@kimmysanchez]

Thank you so much for replying to me and answering my question! 😊

[@giveitamix]

What do you use for fertilizer for your lime tree and how often do you fertilize?

[@Bodhi7007]

I have found this recipe to be great success for lime, orange 1) 3 parts cottongin compost or any compost 2) 1 part rabbit poop or a 1/2 cup of concentrated Fish seaweed emulsion 3) 1 part garden lime Mix them thoroughly and feed your citrus once in 4 months. Make sure the plant/tree is mulched heavily. You be the judge on how much fertilizer to make based on the size of your plant/tree

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi I apologize I didn't see this comment. To answer your question I fertilize my citrus trees once a month for the growing season. I try to change it up sometimes I'll do fish realize or other times I'll do the powder fertilizer other times all the add a little bit of compos and sometimes out add some ground coffee.

Hi there! I love your videos! I realized that we have a lot of similar trees so your videos have been super helpful because I am a newbie when it comes to fruit trees! I have many questions if you don’t mind! 1) What fertilizer do you suggest for key limes? 2) I also have a pink guava tree! I watched a couple of your videos about your guava trees because mine hasn’t been producing fruit and I an going to purchase some of the EB sure start to use when I repot it! And love the idea of the plastic bottles! And I didn’t realize they didn’t like direct sunlight! What fertilizer do you suggest for guavas? And I think you said you fertilize once a month from Feb-Oct? I live in Texas so I wasn’t sure if I should follow the same plan! 3) I also have a Kumquat tree and wondering what you might suggest for fertilizer for that too? Can I also use the EB sure start for that when I repot it? 4) Lastly, 😅 I have a Barbados cherry tree! I haven’t seen it you have any videos about that tree but I am curious if you have any tips since it’s not producing fruit either! I was hoping to repot it and use the EB sure start as well but not sure what fertilizer would work best! Thank you!! Keep on making videos!! They are super helpful to see the step by step process!

The thinning cuts need to be close to the collar. It looks like you have stubs because the cuts are too far from the collar, that’s why you’re getting lots of side growth. Try to prune close to the fruit spur.

If I were going to girl a citrus indoors I would go with the soil that does not hold moisture maybe some cactus mix with a little bit of body and soil I were also not water as often now would make sure that it has much to keep the top layer moist. I would also put it in a Sunny spot.

Why do you paint them white??

[@WestValleyTransparency]

It's to protect the trunk from disease, especially when mulch and woodchips are applied to retain moisture in the soil

[@Bodhi7007]

@@kevingoshe4371 Get some garden lime/Calcium hydrate mix it in water to make a slury or diluted smoothie consistency and use a painting brush to coat the tree trunk.

guessing you got to have 2 trees? Got 1 that grows but no key limes, suggestions welcome

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Add organic mulch, feed it every 6 weeks during spring and summer and give it consistent water. Also make sure you have well draining soil. I have a video on 7 tips on how to grow citrus in containers

Thank you for the reply

[@GardenloveHomestead]

@@freddy091000 if it's in the ground very important that you mulch, feed it with some organic fertilizer. Im just wondering if you Amendment the soil before you put it in the ground? That makes a big difference. My sister in law had her gardernar put in a lemon and orange tree in her yard 5 years ago and her trees havent done anything but survive. I had to remove some soil Amend the soil add some sure start and give it some fertilizer. It starting to grow now.
