I have grown citrus lemon from seeds and mandarin now it has fruit one fruit maybe I need to fertilize it it’s in the pot and I left it outside all this years and I’m in zone 9b, it goes lower than 30’s here but it’s ok right? Thank you for this video Luke 👍👩🌾♥️ is it time to fertilize to them? Thanks
Apprentice Enzo 😊 adorable!
Thanks Luke!
Enzo is a great sidekick! What a sweetie!🥰
I ordered a pomegranate tree from Fast Growing Trees. I'm excited for when they have them back in stock and happy to hear you endorsement of them!👍
Blessings 💚
Hes SO adorable! You can just tell he loves his daddy!
Dry ice indoors can control pests and feed the plants. Just saying.
Thank you so much for your videos. Thanks to your tropical fruit guide I now have an almost 1 year old mango tree sapling growing in my apartment in Maine that I started from a seed I got from a store bought Kent mango.
"Enzo, pay attention." 🤗💖
Luke, any tips for growing Eucalyptus? Ive grown it two years in a row, brought it out for summer and then lost it coming back inside and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this beautiful beneficial plant I cant seem to keep it happy in the fall after being outside 🙁
Comes for the citrus tree info. Stays for the baby. OMG Luke, they’re adorable. I don’t even care about the tree anymore – would love to hear more about your newest family member.
Enzo was the cutest distraction EVER!!!!!
Oooh! Ive wanted to do this for a while. Thank you. <3
I lost all my young citrus fruits and blossoms during the deep freeze back in December. if I prune, will they flower again this year?
Grow lights be good enough for the light? No south facing window that would work. Thanks for the help!
Hi Luke! Ok, I get the reason behind taking off the buds because of all the energy they demand. My question is: for how long do you do remove buds? A certain number of weeks, months? The whole first year? I'm so glad you did this video. Someday soon I'd very much like to grow a lemon tree inside. Thanks!
Looks like Luke has upgraded his home. Doesn’t look like the home where he recorded most of his veggie garden
Awww, your apprentice! Too cute!
……What?
Sorry, I was too enraptured by your beautiful child. 😊
Enzo, you stole the show cutie💓 💓 💓
Worth watching just to see that sweet baby!
OMG, he loves his Daddy! I miss the baby stage of life😭 Enjoy it Luke ❤️
Great video! Thank you Luke. And your Son is adorable! ♥️
I am growing a lemon tree and an orange tree in Southeast Michigan. Our best light comes through a sliding glass door in our bedroom that faces east, so I put some grow lights in over the trees. The lights are on a timer and they double as our morning alarm clock.
Thank you! I bought a Meyer lemon tree last year and it has been in our unheated sun room, with windows that i keep open during the summer. I will be repotting this baby in the next month so your information is timely. 120 gallon pot! I would not have to repot at all.
He is so adorable
i'm growing citrus trees
I am a new grandma and honestly your son was my favorite part of this video. I loved that he smiled at you when you talked directly to him. ❤️❤️❤️
That baby is beyond precious
Trifoliate oranges can grow outside in Michigan there like very sour very hardy orange relatives.
Great video, if you like limes you should try and grow a calamansi plant or some say tree. I have 3 in 5 gallon buckets and love it. I also keep them trimmed to a bush size. They indoor now for the Michigan winter here. Best of luck thanks for the tips in Michigan
Such a cutie! I tried growing meyer lemon trees this year and it was an epic fail. My lime tree however is hanging in there and looking healthy. I will amend the soil tomorrow with the epson salt since it's my watering day. Thanks Luke
Keep a look out for scale – they can be hard to spot until there is a lot of them. Hard to get rid of.
Wow amazing timing, I have been looking into doing this for a few months now, but haven’t been able to do enough research yet. Thanks!
I'm sorry can you do a video without the baby, I can't hear anything. His cuteness is way too loud. Lol.
Omg 😱 ❤️ I’m sorry but everything you said went right over my head as I was just in love with your beautiful boy! He is just adorable 🥰 what a happy little fella
Luke! Did you read my mind?! I just bought earlier today a lemon and a lime tree – what timing! Hi Enzo!
Good tips! Looks like a key lime. Are you keeping it indoors to avoid bugs?
He's SO adorable!
Hello Luke, realty interesting video, but Enzo stole the show!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
That little guy adores his daddy. For sure!
Always love your ideas and this is a must do and keeper. Omgosh such a sweet angel there. Just so cute seeing that excitement everytime you looked over there- big Ole smiles and feet just kicking away with joy…..melts the heart
I can't concentrate on your video because your baby is sooooooo amazingly cute! I love how engaged he is with your presentation! <3
And during the winter you have to add either a growlight or a full spectrum light to give it some more "sunlight" so it can grow through the harsh winter months as it will not like the low sunlight intensity and duration is what I notice myself.
Oh my goodness Enzo is ADORABLE!!
I can attest to the hot air vent tip! I overwintered 2 citrus plants for the 1st time and the one by a heating vent is pretty much dead 🤦♀️ while the other is thriving😂.
