Lining Up the Lemon


Our Meyer lemon tree started off as a sapling only twelve inches tall. How it's grown over the years.



I've pretty much left it alone, just trying to let it establish itself in our tiny, three-tree citrus grove.

I think it's had plenty of time now. I'm going to trim it up to get it to start growing in the shape I want it to.



The loppers make pretty easy work of it, just chop a few of the bottom branches.



I'm not going to touch anything on top in the big producing area. I want fruit this winter so, for now, this is the shape I'm going to be happy with.
