How to Prune Citrus Trees

Pruning is an important part of keeping your citrus trees productive and healthy. At least once a year, perform a close inspection of your tree. Look for diseased, dead, or infested branches that need to be removed. Cut them out as close to the trunk as possible. Try not to trim down more than 20% of your tree at any given time. Following careful trimming practices will make it possible for your tree to grow and thrive.
