how do you know if your tree is a 4-5 year old tree?

I have no clue. It must have been because I got a ton of delicious lemons. Then the tree died. I had it for about a year and a half. It was fun.. Downside is that it was crazy hard to keep the fruit flies away.

it is based upon the height of the tree. A 4-5 your old tree should be about 42 inches tall give or take...

I bought my tree November 2013 and the nursery said it was 3-4 years old. The tree has not put out any new leaves but it has bloomed three times and I have green lemons from the blooms. Lemons are slow growing trees, I say this based on previous lemon trees of younger age that grew about 3-6 inches a year. My tree is indoor and planted in a peck-sized container. I live in upper NY. My brother lives in CA and his outdoor trees are also slow growers.

Hi Katherine, mine trees came about 18 - 24". Some had small fruit on. They had a lot of leaves, and some branching. I had 18 plants, 3 died since. Others are fine, fruit growing, new leaves and little new branching. I have them since August. I ordered from Hirt's, NOT from 9GreenBox. If you want pics, please give me your email.

I have used this product on all my first year bare root trees. I also use them on trees that are up to 5, 6 even 7 years old.

I wouldnt say fully grown because its only a few years old but it is indeed a nice sized tree that will continue to grow.

The instructions say measure circ. of tree at 4.5 ft. from ground. Use 1 fluid ounce per each inch of circ.

well, my tree only lasted 2months and died-I did everything right, no clue why it died. I will be purchasing another one because the one I got my Dad for Christmas already has 6 lemons on it. All I know is my next tree purchase will be an Improved Meyer Lemon-it must be easier to grow. The day after I repotted my lemon tree the leaves all fell off one by one until it was bare-now its a crispy critter. Sad! Hope this helps your decision!

So far, it's lasted outside past few weeks in jersey in the cold no problem. It's a small worthy investment. Can't hurt to try it out. Do research on the specific species of the tree for the most accurate info.

The brown (i.e., death leaves) fell off naturally on my tree. In fact over time (maybe 3- 4 months) all the original leaves died. But have no fear, new growth came-in concurrently. Now after 6 months, I have a fully formed beautiful tree with all new growth...and I let the brown leaves fall naturally. I would recommend not letting the dead leaves accumulate on the ground.

Depends entirely on how you pot it-my brother and I purchased identical trees. His is in a fairly large planter pot, maybe a 2-3 gallon pot, and his tree is about 2.5' tall. Mine is in a smaller pot, about 1.5 gallon pot and is currently about 1.5' and growing slowly. The nice thing about it is it doesn't need much direct sunlight at all-mine receives almost none during the day but still has big healthy green leaves. Very nice low-maintenance plant to have at home!

our trees were several years old, I do know that new growth (tender-new growth cant handle alot of fertilizer) 'nMy reccommendation would to apply approx 2-3 ft from core or trunk janet

I agree with Peter. It's fairly light. It comes with a pole that clamps onto the trunk of your tree for stability. If I recall correctly, the pole is about 18" long. I think it would look great on a 4' tree.

The plant is about 6" tall. I really do not know the age, but I would say its a youngling.

I'm not sure how to tell the difference. You would probably have to ask the seller. Mine are planted already and I am waiting for them to come up.

I don't know. I just ordered mine this year and it is not very long. However, I have seen older plants that are many, many feet long and beautiful.

5 years from when it was made. It will say on the package when it was made. I dont think they would sell something that is 4 years and 11 months old, so dont worry about that.

I wish I could answer that for you but my tree only lasted for about 4 months. I think that would be directly correlated with where you live. Lemon trees love tropical, hot and humid environments. Also, they need a lot of sunlight. Hope this helps.

It depend upon how long the tree is exposed to -5 deg temp. It may die if it is exposed too long. But It may sprout again when the temperature warms up.Tom
