This video is a complete guide to pruning citrus trees. If you need to know how to prune citrus trees, this video will teach you everything you need to know about why, how and when to prune citrus trees.
The citrus tree I use in this video is a Meyer Lemon. Whether you're growing oranges, satsumas, lemons, limes, grapefruits, kumquats, or any other citrus varieties, these principles can be applied. I also explain the difference between grafted citrus trees and trees grown from a rooted cutting or seed, as well as full size and dwarf citrus trees.
