First off, I owe many on this forum some big thanks for showing me the light of the 5.1.1 mix, which has saved my lemon tree. After repotting using the 511 mix about three or so weeks ago, my tree did nothing for a long while, but now the tree is coming back strong with lots of new leaves coming on once bare stems!

However, it looks like the tree is a little unbalanced, and I want to inspire the tree to fill in on the side that is a bit bare......is there anyway that I can do that via pruning, or should I just leave it alone?

Also, I noticed some buds are growing as well....should I nip those off, so the tree develops more leaves?

I know when I repotted I did not really hit the center of my pot, so it looks a little funny (its my first time repotting anything!) but the tree is pretty solid in there, and I think the roots have really grown into the 511 mix.

What should I use now for a fertilizer? I want to keep this progress moving along!

Again, thank you to all that helped me with my sick tree with root rot, I am glad to now be on the right track!
