Lemon Tree In A Container

Question

I’m growing a lemon tree from a lemon seed. Its nearly 4 feet tall now but I was wondering if I should prune some of the lowest limbs to promote growth at the top. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I will be bringing it indoors come winter… I live in West Virginia

Answer 1

There is no reason to do so, at this time, unless the idea is to keep it shorter. Then, you would prune the top, though.

Here are some articles that will help:
