Mayer Lemon Tree Growth

11 years ago

I am located in Orlando, Florida and I have a backyard lemon tree that I planted a 4-5 foot tall lemon tree about three and a half years ago. When I planted it it went through shock and and lost allot of leaves (about half). It came back about 6 months later (summer months), and was producing about 30-50 fruits that fall. The next year I had a nitrogen problem, and I gave it to it because all the leaves were yellowing and falling off. (You guys helped me with that). However, it has been another 2 years and there has been little growth on the tree. The tree isn't taller, or wider. (I am still getting quite a bit of fruit twice a year.)

I decided to cut off the bottom three branches two weeks ago. Is there anything else I could do to make this grow better/taller? I also widened the circle around the tree.
