I need to make some serious pruning decisions about this Lemon tree. Normally, I'd prune it in February before the new blooms appear. Due to all the chaos, I missed my window and now there are blooms on the limbs I was going to cut. Luckily, the entire tree is covered with buds, but I still need to decide if I trim it this year anyway, sacrificing fruit on the upper branches but allowing the lemons on the lower part of the tree to be bigger and better? Or, do I just let it go wild until February 2027, pruning the 3 D's and crossing branches in the interim?
For those of you that grow lemons, what would you do and why?💚
