Meyer Lemon All You Need To Know
Tips, Tricks
the care and maintenance of growing Meyer lemons in a container is all so easy. With a few tips, you will be on your way to having juicy, succulent lemons in no time. Come along and let me show you just how to it. I'm not sure about that my friend. My Meyer Lemons have no problems producing. Curled leaves on citrus plants may indicate a significant pest problem or can point to an environmental issue. So before I get into any of that information I will try and explain what I have learned for the past 2 years growing these wonderful low maintenance trees in containers. Citrus leaf curl is caused by many different things, making positive identification of your problem important before you can determine how to treat leaf curling on citrus. Below are the most common causes of curling citrus, along with ways to manage them. Sap-sucking pests like aphids, mites and psyllids feed on citrus leaves by extracting the juices directly from transport tissues. As populations grow, they can cause deformations including curling and cupping in leaves, as well as discoloration. When you notice your citrus leaves are curling, check their undersides carefully for tiny pests feeding in clusters. If you spot them, spray your citrus tree with insecticidal soap or neem oil, making sure to coat areas where pests were spotted. Repeat this treatment weekly until your citrus plant begins to recover and all signs of insects are gone. Citrus leaf miners are another insect pest of citrus, but instead of sucking on leaf juices, the moth larvae tunnel through leaf tissues as they grow. These tunnels are highly visible on leaf surfaces, appearing as undulating white or yellow lines on the green leaf surfaces. Citrus leaf miners are difficult to treat successfully; it’s generally recommended that you allow them to run their course since most citrus trees can tolerate a significant leaf miner load. Environmental issues Drought stress is the most common cause of leaf curl in citrus, but also the easiest to remedy. If leaves begin to curl inward while retaining their green coloration and the soil around your tree feels dry to the touch, "you’re not watering enough". Stepping up watering efforts and applying 2 to 4 inches of an organic mulch to the ground around your citrus plant will help it recover. Wait to fertilize until the tree resumes normal, healthy leaf production. Potassium deficiencies show up in citrus as leaves with a yellow cast that are bent downward at the tip. Check the soil pH and nutrient levels before fertilizing these trees to ensure there aren’t bigger problems. If everything checks out, supplement with an extra dose of fertilizer and monitor your tree for improvement. Make sure to provide the tree with enough water to move potassium throughout its system.

Great video! Excellent information! Meyer lemons 🍋 are my favorite citrus! I have a few small citrus trees and will be following your videos!

hi, I live in Florida. im growing a key lime tree in a container. I bought citrus tone fertilizer 5-4-6 is that a good one to use?
-
I live in Ohio and I got about 35 lemons on my tree this year! I bring it inside in the winter in front of a huge south facing window. Great video...you should be a narrator or read aloud audio books or something! Great voice and personality. Love your enthusiasm!

beautiful trees, they are blessed. much love and god,s peace to you.

I have one of these and it has grown out of control. it's in Adobe soil in Northern California and I don't water it at all anymore. planted 6 years ago as a 5 gallon plant. it's about 15 feet tall now and is getting to be kind of a pain.

Excellent video. Easy listening. Thanks.

What are the temperature requirements for Meyer lemon trees?

I have a meyer lemon tree in a large container which I brought indoors for winter here in NY. I upgraded the pot this year and it made a nice difference. The tree looks very healthy. It is now loaded with flowers but how can I make sure they won't drop off? I've been using the fertilizer spikes for citrus trees. I have one small lemon so far but hundreds of flowers. Thanks for the great video.

I love it. Thanks

You voice is smooooth as fuck! Great video!

So I have a question, in regards of taste, what is the difference between the meyer lemon and a regular lemon i guess? like you could buy at a store. Also, is it a bad idea to try to grow just any kind of lemon in pots like that?

Your citrus plants certainly look healthy and well looked after. In NZ we call that lemon/orange hybrid a Lemonade. Ultra yummy. Thanks for your helpful tips. It is quite wet where I live especially during spring, which is the opposite months to you, I was worried bout the yellowing leaves sounds like I need to find a way to lower the moisture level during this time of year.
Mine has been in for two seasons now and is starting to produce big time. A neat little trick I have recently learned is to charge up some quartz crystals for whatever energy frequency you want then put them around your plants and they increase your yield and also transmit the charged energy into the plant/fruit. Learn the correct way to charge your quartz you are then able to imbue your food with any frequency you desire. -
My meyer lemon is plagued with scale, especially when i bring it inside in the fall...where does scale come from? the earth? some insect? i noticed wasps like to hang around the tree....it's put on alot of flowers since coming indoors...are the lemons going to mature over the winter?

Thanks for this video! I also watched a video that said baked eggshells and coffe grinds are also very beneficial. My tree has some funky-shaped leaves and some leaf miner damage, and they are turning light green rather than staying dark green. I will have to try the epsom salt trick. I got tons of flowers this spring but they all dropped like you said, so now I know what to do for next season! I also got a cara cara orange tree and a ruby red grapefruit tree in 1 gallon pots, and I am so excited for their fruits in a couple years. Happy growing!

We need help with our Myer lemon. My sister and I have a tree that got out of hand. For two years now it has been neglected and not pruned. We have abundant fruit right now with stakes holding up branches because the fruit is so heavy. it needs major pruning and don't know where to begin. This tree is about 8 years old now.

what zone are you in? I am in 7B and have read that they can be planted in a sheltered area. Currently, my two have been repotted and had very few blooms; I ended up with one lemon.

I have a Meyer Lemon Tree. It's 4 months old. I learned today watching your video about putting the Epson salt as a nutrition element. My tree seemed very healthy, although today when I went to water it, I found a lot of leaves with holes on them, very worried any idea as to what I can do? Thanks.

You're so passionate about gardening! It's great. You could make anyone excited to grow plants.
And honestly, I don't understand why more people aren't using their land to grow their own food...
