Leave it alone for now, until it gets over transplant shock and begins to put out new growth; then start a regular fertilization routine. You can always clean up the center (crossing limbs) to allow more light at a later time. New growth will most likely come from the outside or top.

Well I don't want it to get taller so should I prune it from top

What kind of lights should I get for indoors for winter months, and thank you for advise given earlier

If you prune it from the top, it will encourage more lateral branching

This is what I will use in a floor lamp that I will point towards my trees. It's not the only source though...they will be near big windows.

Nice tree by the way...don't prune yet...listen to John!

Thanks guys , my first time on here, am very much enjoying it.

May seem like a dumb ? But I seen it on YouTube

can I hang something on some branches so there away from others.

I don't know if it's the angle of the pic, but your tree's foliage looks bigger than that of my clementine. Sure it's Clementine? Nice healthy tree.

Yup, if you bend a branch (from fruit, or other weight/tie) it will grow that way; and will send up new shoots from the highest (apical) bud/node on that branch.

Ok so I will do that to give it a better look and sun can shine through better

Yes it's a clementine I have the certificate it came with. Thanks for saying its a nice tree my second day with it and I'm not sure what to think, hoping I see flowering at some point

Actually, it looks like you are not watering the tree enough. - Silica

I agree, there is leaf curling that suggests thirstiness but be careful as easy to get in trouble overwatering a citrus

I just received it yesterday and did water it but was afraid of to much I'll will check it , thank you

Looking for a seedless orange that will be small and close to bearing fruit or flowering , anyone know where to get one

Being afraid of watering a container citrus tree, will over the long run cause much more damage to the tree's health and future growth, than over watering the tree. Remember, IT IS NOT the amount of water that damages a tree, it is ALWAYS poor or restricted soil drainage causing the lack of oxygen to the roots that causes problems. - Silica

Thank you. What kind of pots would be better, mine are clay and have a descent size hole on bottom

iluv,

You should be aware that the clementine variety is one of the few citrus that requires a pollinator; and depending on the cultivar, many clementines are incompatible with another clementine, requiring a different type of citrus to produce fruit. Many types of citrus can be a cross pollinator, so long as they bloom at the same time.

Well that's not good for me. I was told to shake the tree or use a sm paintbrush and move it around.

After inspecting me tree, the foliage looks like yours

I think yours looks great

Thank you for the info on that spray. I will certainly get it. I live in zone 6B and I think it will already be a challenge for me due to sun. I do have a bow window with sun till around noon but not a south window. And winters are gloomy. Any ideas without costing much I will appreciate. Thanks everyone

Where can I get that sell pollinating spray

I purchase my GA3 from a wholesaler that supplies various chemicals and fertilizers to greenhouse growers. I also see it offered on E-bay. - Silica

Everytime I learn something new here ,thanks Silica . Had no clue that therez spray-able hormone that can pollinate , also I see Gibberellic acid has other positive effects as well.

Hi Vladimir I think you sent me info yesterday on 5-1-1 I can't seem to find that post would you be do king to give it again

My version of Al Tapla's 5-1-1 Mix

· 5
parts pine bark mulch (remove ½” pieces through 1/2 inch screen)

(Some people use Repti Bark instead of
mulch. This does not require screening but may require more frequent watering.)
Be sure to soak the bark overnight.

· 1
part sphagnum peat

· 1
part perlite (coarse, if you can get it)

· 1 Tb garden
lime /gal 5-1-1 mix (measure the 5-1-1 mix)

· Osmocote
plus (follow manufacturer’s instructions

·
Moisten well and wait at least 2 days before using

Thank you, might try that tomorrow

Most my pots are around 6 in should I get bigger ones. Will they ok with the move
Thank you for the help

Can you post pics of your plants Esmeralda? That will help us decide the pot size? How long have they been in their pots?

I wish I seen this site before I bought all kinds of different products, you guys are great thank you. And was so wrong I've bought 8 not 5 here are my sad trees

I've had them I'm thinking almost 2 months

It's gonna be 59 tonight should I bring in mg trees?

No. You're fine. When temps are reaching near low 40s you need to bring them.

Owe thank god
Did you see my pics with the pots Laura

No. Which thread?

Ok guys I bought this tree from lemoncitrus.com thinking it would be more like a dwarf size. What can I do for this tree to get fuller on sides rather than taller, if anything, any ideas?

I would leave it as it is.

It's gonna get to big for indoors won't it. If it would stay like that just fuller would be ideal for me

emeralda- u ought to do some Googling on what a dwarf citrus mature size is. what u got from lemoncitrus is a more mature graft instead of a smaller 1yr graft. u can certainly prune it which would produce more branches (make it look fuller) but will delay fruiting n in 1-2 years will be tall again. so unless u r doing citrus bonsai u have to be prepared for taller n larger trees coz even dwarf ones would be 6-8ft n that too after yearly pruning.

I may be in trouble then I was quick to purchase some trees, maybe I should sell that one.

A tree that tall in a container that small is surely a root bound tree. When a tree becomes root bound the growth becomes straight up, like tooth paste being squeezed out of the tube. That supplier held on to the tree too long hoping he could sell it. After one year in a small container the suppler should have either re-potted the tree into the next larger container, a 3 or 5 gallon, or thrown the tree away. That is a cardinal rule in the nursery industry. - Silica

That's upsetting. It did come in a slightly bigger pot but was all cracked and bent when recieved. I just want and try and keep it this size but more fuller if not I might have to find someone to take it

If you decide to keep it, you should repot it into a larger pot. In that case, please post a picture of the roots.

I will sometime this week. I have to make some more mix

Esmeralda, I would pot it into a larger container and then, once it is used to its new home, trim if necessary. I try to keep my trees to 6-7 feet tall at the most. Some are bushy too. I'm not sure which is worse...lol! In order to get fruit, you will need to let them grow. However, I have seen a beautiful Meyer lemon tree that was kept to about 4 feet tall, but very bushy that produced almost 40 lemons. It is close to 10 years old though. Have faith..it wil work out!

I wish I had seen this forum site first. I probably would of made some different choices. Oh well
