Once our Improved Meyer lemon trees arrive, what’s the process to get them planted and ready for purchase?
Once your Improved Meyer lemon tree arrives, the process to get it planted and ready for purchase varies depending on the size of the tree. Still, the main concept remains the same: you want to transplant it into a bigger container if you plan to grow it larger.
General Planting Process:
Choose the Right Container: Select a container that is at least double the size of the root ball. Ensure it has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Prepare the Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a citrus or cactus mix. You can also create your own mix by combining compost, peat moss, and Perlite.
Transplanting:
For Smaller Trees: If you have a smaller Improved Dwarf Meyer lemon tree, follow a 3-pinch process to encourage bushier growth. Place the tree in the center of the container, ensuring the soil level is even with the original pot.
For Larger Trees: Larger trees should be staked high to provide support. Ensure the root ball is level with the surrounding soil and fill in with the prepared soil mix.Watering: Water the tree thoroughly after planting. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Sunlight: Place the tree where it will receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Fertilization: To promote healthy growth and fruiting, use a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, twice during the growing season.
By following these steps, your Improved Meyer lemon trees will be well-prepared to thrive and produce delicious lemons.
What’s a dwarf Improved Meyer lemon tree compared to a mature tree? What size ranges can you accommodate?
