Join me today to see the progress of Pruning my lemon tree using tree science as a guide...PART 2"! In the first video (linked below from March) I shared all I had learned from my FIL, the pomologist. In the second video (linked below from Sept) I shared the progress and did a second prune job. Now I can share how the tree looks as well as my new pest problem: CITRUS LEAF MINER! I've learned a lot from UC IPM and share why I have citrus leaf miner as well as how to prevent and take care of the problem. Hope it's helpful!
