Pruning, Cuttings & a Lemon Tree Rescue | Conversation with a Newbie
Description
In today’s Q&A-style episode, I chat with Becks, who’s growing food on a small urban section packed with subtropical and Mediterranean microclimates. We talk through her real-life garden dilemmas—from a wayward apple tree branch and overachieving feijoas, to pruning grapevines and getting citrus trees back on track.
We cover:
🍏 How to prune an espaliered apple tree
🍇 When and how to cut back grapevines
🌱 How to take a cutting and get it growing
🍋 What to do when your lemon tree looks sad and wobbly
🪴 Why feijoas fruit like mad—and how to prune them to suit your space
If you’ve ever wondered how to shape your trees, take a cutting, or diagnose citrus struggles, this one’s for you.
✨ Bonus: I've shared a visual demo of nodes, cuttings, and branches over on socials.
