Certified ExpertA.I'm not sure that I fully understand the question. Removing segments of bark will not help a tree, and in fact will harm it. Can you include a photo, and clarify the question?

3110Q.pruning a lemon/lime tree
I have a dwarf lemon/lime grafted onto one rootstock that is 18 months old and just over five feet in height. I don’t want it to get much higher than six feet. When and how should I prune? Do I take out whole branches or trim back all over and should this be done regularly, a little at a time, or take more but less often? Thanks for your help

Certified ExpertA.Can you include a photo? This is quite impossible. There are no species of citrus that have vining qualities. What you may be seeing is a lack of light. This will cause them to stretch quite tall. This will eventually kill them, as they will not be able to support their own weight. There isn't really a good way to correct this, once it has happened. The best thing would be to start over, and give the seedlings a very powerful horticultural grade light. Each mature tree will need at least two hundred watts to thrive. You can use a single 100 watt until they stretch beyond the light cast, when you will have to get more lighting.
If you are in an area where they can be grown outdoors, then you will want to let sunlight do its job, as it will be the best quality light.

June 4, 2018A.Lemon Trees grow in zones 9-11
Citrus species, including lemon trees, grow in tropical and subtropical humid regions. In the subtropics, citrus grows between sea level and 2,450 feet; in the tropics it grows at elevations below 5,250 feet. Lemon trees thrive in temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit, but tolerate the high temperatures experienced in citrus regions.
They need full sun for fruit production, which is limited if the tree is in shade for more than six months.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

June 10, 2018Q.Lemon tree not flowering
Hello, first i want to tell that i like your web site and i regularly read the articles posted.. thanks for it.. i find it interesting and quite informative.. Actually i live in Egypt where the weather should be comparative to Florida. I purchased a lemon tree like six years back, it was just a small plant with very few leaves. now it has grown up to almost two meters high, but it never blooms and, of course never bears fruits. i wonder if lemon tree have to be grafted in order to bear fruits (i am sure that it was never grafted!) or is it a matter of time and i still have to wait more time to see it flowering! And generally, is it possible to graft a tree at any age, or it should be done when it is still young? thanks in advance for your advice,

June 10, 2018A.There are a few causes for this. The most likely situation is that there is too much nitrogen in the fertilizer. You will want to feed these with a high potassium and phosphorus fertilizer, that has very little nitrogen. There are even fertilizers that are meant, specifically, for citrus. This is what I recommend, as it takes the guesswork out of feeding them.
