What to give Lemon tree to help in fruiting? Like buttermilk is given for curry leaf trees can it be given for Lemon trees too ?
There is a starving and feeding cycle for lemon tree as per it’s flowering and fruiting annual cycle to be observed. Before every fruiting cycle it should be trimmed to size and roots exposed to sun by cutting off its small hairy roots upto 2-3 inches for few days. No watering to be done during these days. Then manure like vermicompost, bonemeal needs to applied, soil covered and watered. Once it starts flowering, watering to be completely stopped till fruiting. This exercise should be done in October after rains and Feb starting of spring for grafted trees. And for normal trees, soft pruning after every lemon plucked needs to be done of that branch and manured during above seasons. Ofcourse, lemon trees need full sun from morning to evening to give good results
