I just moved to a duplex that has a small back yard and a lemon tree.
I would like to learn of the care and upkeep of it so that I can have yummy lemons! Also, I'd don't want it to die on me!
Additional Tree info:
*The tree is already producing lemons that haven't ripened for quite sometime.
*It's rather a tall tree. (I'm 5'1'' and it's 3-4ft over me!)
*Some of the leaves are starting to yellow. :( We're in a drought. I try to give it water, but I don't know how much.
So, my questions are:
Should I prune it? If so, how much should I take off?
Should I trim some of the unripe lemons off?
How much water does it need?
Does it need any additional nutrients? (Like fertilizer or plant food)
Your answers would be much appreciated. No smartA$$ answers please they will not be tolerated.
