What should I do about my non-producing miniature lime tree?
I have had a miniature lime tree for about ten years. When we brought it home in a small bucket it was producing limes. It stayed in that bucket for about 4 years and didn’t get consistent water. When it had pretty much withered away to a 6 inch stump, we then moved it into a larger clay pot for the next 5 years. Numerous 1/4 inch shoots with thorns on them grew out but still no limes. When it became root bound again, we planted it in the ground about a year ago. Those thorny shoots took off to the point that it is out growing the limited space we had designated for this tree. I’d like to cut it back some but am not sure if this is a good idea. Any ideas of what I should do and how to get it to produce limes again?
You first should prune it to a single trunk. That won’t necessarily make it produce fruit but it will begin to train it for the area you have allotted. Your tree did suffer from being root bound and citrus do not like being root bound, so it may take a year or two for it to be able to bear fruit again. You do not need another lime tree for cross pollination. Your tree just need time to heal. You also need to fertilize frequently because lime trees are heavy feeders. They will quickly deplete the soil around them, in the ground or in a container. Be sure to fertilize every few months with compost or a nitrogen rich fertilizer. If your lime does not produce flowers within two years it may have suffered too much damage and you may want to replace it. These links may help you.
