orange trees

Question

After you plant orange,lemon, or grapefruit trees do you remove the fruit from the trees for a number of years?

Answer 1

It is not necessary to pick the fruit like that. By the time they are able to fruit, they should be well established. The only reason I would say to pick the fruit like that would be, for some reason the tree isn't as full of leaves or branches as you would like.
