I have a mature meyer lemon and want to use it for cuttings to propagate new plants. Should the cuttings be taken from branches that are hardened or new growth? I bought a seed and cuttings propagator with a dome top and heat mat. The dome top is about six inches high so I will only be able to fit a 4 to 5 inch cutting inside. Is this cutting size large enough?

You use hard wood cuttings & you really don't need anything but a pot of dirt & warm weather. Meyer is about the easiest citrus to root.

I have a meyer lemon cutting that has rooted but it lost the leaves. I planted it in the ground recently. If it has rooted how long will it take to start growing?

I took some cuttings about 6 or 8 weeks ago and they are starting to give me new growth right now. It's been slow but hopefully in the next few weeks they'll start to grow more. They appear to be giving me some blooms. Question I have is should these be removed or let what happens happen? All my leaves are on my cuttings still. Not sure if that is normal or not.

I took my cutting February 28. It is small and planted in the ground so I hope it is not cut down by a lawn mower.

I mowed down by myer lemon cutting today! The grass and weeds around it were high and I ran over it with the lawn mower!

If it was rooted out pretty good, it will come back from the roots.

Other than being easy to root, how does Meyer Lemon do on it's own roots? I grafted mine onto one of my full size citrange rootstocks and after 1 year, I have probably 100 lemons developing that haven't dropped. Seems very vigorous.

They do great on their own roots I have one in my front yard that is about 12 tall & loaded with small fruit now.

Freddy,

Look at this.
