Hi.
I have a meyer lemon, and I wanted to root some cuttings of it, using the new branches it grew this summer. But the branches have blooms on them now... Are they still good to use for rooted cuttings (after I remove the blooms)?

Yes, just remove the flower buds. Many times when I root Meyer lemons they will produce flower blooms before new leaves.

No, but I haven't gone to the rooting part, they're still on the mother plant.

When you cut the sticks you want to root, just remove the flower buds and all leaves except the last three or four at the tip of the stick.
