Kaffir Lime Tree Curving at Top

Question

My Kaffir lime tree is a year old and approximately five feet tall. The top is now starting to curve over and bend downwards. Should I cut the very top off to take the weight off the plant, or should I put a stake in and tether it to support it? I’m afraid of killing it because I am told (from where I bought mine) that there is a current ban on importing/selling the trees.

Answer 1

It may need to be pruned up a bit. The following article should be of some help to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/tips-for-pruning-lime-tree.htm
