    I thought my lemon tree had completely died because of an unexpected cold snap while it was outside. It did died back but is now putting out green growth. I think I might name it Lazarus. 😉

      Meyer lemons have always impressed me with their hardiness. I've had one that got left in a dark room and unwatered for three months in winter. It was putting out blossoms when I found it and watered it.

    It's really interesting. Here in the Southern UK, most people think you can't grow citrus because our winters are too cold. It's not that, your winters are on par with coastal Georgia. It's that our summers aren't hot enough for them to ripen. Our typical winters only get down to about 26f (once in 50 year winters = 15f). US climate zones just don't make any sense here. I'm technically in zone 9b (Northern Florida/Southern Georgia equivalent), but our summers don't even quite average 70f. A polytunnel makes it possible though. I've got satsumas, kumquats and Meyer lemons growing in my polytunnel. Never thought it was possible, but it works! It's a bit dicey, as they barely ripen before the frost kicks in, but it's so much fun to grow citrus in the UK.

    This is very helpful. I have a tree that I started from seed of which I got from my grandma's tree and now she is no longer and neither can we go back and get seeds from that tree because it was cut down but this is super helpful because this tree is very special and it's like a miracle because it's been growing very big and a pot for about 9 years and I'm just trying to maintain it till I can permanently plant it in a real yard of my own. My tree finally gave me fruit and flowers about 2 years ago. This video is so informative! 😀 Thank you for these tips because it's hanging on but it's lacking something

    Hilarious! I just got myself a little Meyer lemon tree and wanted to take the very best care of her- saw that this video had a southerner explaining stuff and knew I was in the right place! Thanks a bunch!
    Especially liked the alternative options for soil and fertilizer.
    One question: I watched a another person's video on CZcams and she mentioned that you should look for the part of the trunk that all the roots are coming out of ( it kinda looks like a peanut in the shell) , she said when repotting you should keep that part above the soil. Any thoughts or other explanations?
    Thanks again!!!!

    Love the video, fun and helpful. Just purchased a Meyer lemon tree and waiting to repot. We live in zone 7 TN and have this is our 2nd attempt at lemon and olive trees. Both died last year because we tried to do it in house only. I ordered citrus tone and will repot. 2 questions please. 1.It came in a 9” pot, what size do you recommend for repot? I’d like to use a 17” unless that’s too much of a jump.
    2. Sunlight - we’ve been leaving it outside in the TN heat but under a covered porch. Is direct sunlight better?
    Also, I like the knuckle test. I still feel like I don’t know how often to water.
    Have you done a container olive tree video? Thanks for the quality lessons and the laughs!

    I got a lemon tree for Christmas and I repotted it into a 20 gallon pot after about a month. (The garden center suggested to do it before April) It is in a sunny spot on our back pool deck. It had LOTS of flowering blooms, and lots of tiny lemons and one about the size of a ping pong ball. We have had an unusually chilly winter for Florida and a very gray January and February. We had a horrific windy and rainy couple of days and ALL of the leaves came off the tree. What IN the WORLD????? I have looked at it and it seems to have new blossoms but no sign of leaves. I followed your repotting video …. I have it in a terracotta pot. Please helllllllppppp. Thank you in advance.
