RE: Tropical Tree: Citrus Tree root growth and branch pruning [Bonsai]
This lemon tree is looking very good! I have a lemon tree in the back yard. It wastes its growth each season long new branches shooting straight up. We cut back to the main branches. Interesting to use honey on pruning wounds. Makes perfect sense.
Yes, using honey is much cheaper that bottled glue. Glue tends to dry and clog the nozzle (lots of wasted glue), and some stain the wood. Honey is non-toxic, so easy to use with fingers.
Keep your tree small, and the fruit will be easier to reach. Reduce the amount of fruit growing on each branch, and the tree will grow healthier with better tasting fruit.
