Always use sharp pruning shears or loppers when pruning lime trees. If you have frost damage, wait until the trees have shown new growth. Prior to pruning lime trees, pick off any remaining fruit. Prune all dead, damaged, weak or diseased branches to the base.
Fertilize frequently – Lime trees are heavy feeders. They will quickly deplete the soil around them, in the ground or in a container. Be sure to fertilize every few months with compost or a nitrogen rich fertilizer. Keep them warm – Lime trees cannot tolerate temperatures much under 50 degrees F.
