Can I Prune My Lemon Tree?

Question

I started 2 trees from seed 3 years ago. They are 5ft tall and pretty bushy. I’m in zone 3A, Minnesota These potted plants need to go in the basement but don’t fit down the stairs. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Yes, you can prune lemon trees to the height you need to handle them. Pruning is best done right after a harvest or anytime it is flowering.
