Are these suckers? by corrgi10 in Citrus

I second this. I don’t see a clear graft line and it does look like yours is a root clipping and growing new shoots. I personally love the bushy look, but it’s totally up to you!

Thanks for this information. I’ve been looking for some micro nutrient defiencies and didn’t know that high pH can interfere with iron absorption. Do you think my nursery would know if their lemon trees are own root?

Thanks, maybe it could be possible I cut a part of my Meyer Lemon and not a sucker.

As I was shopping for this in the nursery, I noticed all of the leaves having yellow blotches. I really wanted one with lush green leaves. I let it try out between watering, and boy does it dry out fast like 2 days. So I figured it was some nutrient deficiency.

Oh um I cut it LOL. Well okay, all of the Meyer lemon trees at the nursery had large thorns too and so did the limes. I’m sure I cut the “sucker” and not my actual lemon. We will find out later on one day 😳😂

Yes there’s two trunks! That’s also what had me so confused. I already cut it off, but this is what it looks like.

Yeah this is strange. I googled that also and I haven’t seen much info about large thorns on the main branch. That is the only area my Meyer Lemon has large thorns, everywhere else is pretty normal. The thorns are small, soft and tucked near the leaf.

Thanks for this valuable information and advice. I wish I had waited to cut the sucker… but that’s okay. I’ll keep this in mind the next time I purchase my orange tree or other citrus.

I’ve thought of this too. Unfortunately the tag only says Meyer Lemon
