my lemon from seed is 8/9 years old now. got a really great root base and starting on the secondary branches. been in the hobby 9/10 years so its one of my oldest trees from seed. i dont use any extra light over winter for my lemon. it lives in a sunny window untill spring. lemon is a great species for starting out. im slowly moving on to cold hardy species. just pruned a japanese holly and a thuga green giant. happy bonsai'ing greg!
Thanks for your comment! The only reason I have it under lights in the house is because I don't have a good window space to pu this during the winter. That and I have a lot of plants that come in over the winter and it's easier to dedicate a space to them. Great to hear that you are having good luck with your lemon! And good luck this year branching out!
"woodening up" is called lignifying.
Thank you for that! I know the word, but itâs just not one that I use on a daily basis. đ
When u had the lemon under grow lights, what was ur light cycle? Was it in a greenhouse or in ur house house? Iâm in western Washington state, zone 8b, and have a few younger lemon trees Iâm growing for bonsai purposes. They are happy n healthy so far. Last two winters I left em outside except when temps dropped below 40, I put em in my unheated shed. I have also always done the exact same for my pomegranates, which I think are semi deciduous if exposed to âcoldâ temps. I know that lemons âcan beâ indoor plants and potentially grow yr round. Did ur lemon trees put on any growth under the lights and were they there the whole winter?
Sorry for such a looonnggg comment/question but Iâm curious if I should get grow lights for the wintersâŠâŠ.. my 3 lemon trees (one 25yrs old and two 3-5yr olds). The 25yr old is established and âusedâ to my care practices. It was my momâs and thatâs how she grew it for 20+ yrs so I kept the same tactics. Iâm wondering though if my younger ones might benefit from no dormant period and grow âyr roundâ with lightsâŠâŠâŠ..? IDK?
AnywaysâŠâŠâŠ keep up the good work! I appreciate ur channel very much. Have a great rest of ur spring wherever u are!
My light cycle was within an 8-12 hour lights on cycle. I had the pomegranates and smaller lemon trees in my grow tent all winter, but I'm thinking I will be putting them in the shed for this coming winter to test how they do now that they are older. My smaller lemon trees have dropped all (or most) of their leaves just before I put them outside for the season, but are showing signs of new growth, so I'm just playing the waiting game on them. I had a small amount of growth during the winter on the lemons. The pomegranates were growing all winter long, but I had to keep fighting with bugs on them (hence why I'm probably going to just put them away this coming winter to see if that helps).
The only reason I have a grow tent and lights is because I have a large amount of other plants that I have been experimenting with that are year long plants. I just didn't have an area in the house with enough good window light to support them. I think eventually, I will be putting a greenhouse or some kind of structure outside to help with this that can keep a high enough temperature to also allow me not to have to store everything in the shed and the grow tent. It's only been a year and I'm already almost at cpacity for things. :) I can't say to the dormant stage on the lemons yet, but I think I'll be placing the smaller guys in the shed area to see if they survive. Luckily, lemons are super easy to replace, especially in the early seasons of their life.
No worries on the questions! I love being able to interact with everyone that watches. I think building a community is great and I think it starts with a great core of people!
