With a bit of luck he'll begin to think it was his idea after all lol<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065980166009732571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348516103775255884.post-54705053164802582142009-06-08T20:08:28.381+10:002009-06-08T20:08:28.381+10:00Hi Mandy, a little help for your tree.
Lemons are ...Hi Mandy, a little help for your tree.<br />Lemons are grafted onto vigirous rootstock. <br /><br />This rootstock will form it own growth and will eventually overtake the grafted tree. <br /><br />It is best to deal with these 'suckers' when they are small. It is at this time they can be rubbed off with your fingers. <br />If they are bigger trim them off as close to the stem as possible, but without damaging the trunk. Keep an eye on them as they might try to reshoot again. <br /><br />As for the thorns Daleys say the trees do have thorns so maybe they are new shoots, its a bit hard to tell by the photo where they are coming from. (http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/lemonade.htm)<br /><br />I guess if in doubt trim the off. Hopes this helps - EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
