Mix water-soluble fertilizer according to package instructions and apply it evenly around the drip line of the tree (the area under the outer branches).
Water deeply afterward to help nutrients reach the roots.
Additional Tips for a Lush Lemon Tree
Prune regularly: Remove dead or crowded branches to improve air circulation and sunlight exposure.
Monitor for pests: Aphids, scale, and citrus leaf miners can affect fruit yield.
pH level: Lemon trees prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). Adjust with organic amendments if needed.
Sunlight: Ensure your tree gets at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Conclusion
By following this fertilization strategy and combining it with proper pruning, watering, and pest management, your lemon tree will flourish with lush foliage and an abundant harvest that can rival any nursery-grown tree.
