Effect of Training Young Lemon Trees for Limb-shaker Mechanical Harvest on Yield and Tree Trunk Growth 1

S. B. Boswell, L. L. Ede, and C. D. McCarty

Abstract

Three year old lemon trees [C. limon (L.) Burm f.] were selectively pruned to form a 3- to 4-scaffold branch structure for limb shaker harvesting. Yield was reduced 16 kg per tree and trunk circumference 10 cm above the bud union was reduced 5.3 cm per tree over a 6-year period. Training was completed with minimal production loss.

Effect of a Single Application of Napthaleneacetic Acid on Yield and Shoot Growth of Young Lemon Trees 1

S. B. Boswell, C. D. McCarty, L. L. Ede, and J. H. Chesson

Abstract

Application of 1% ethyl ester of napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in an aqueous or latex formulation to trunk and scaffold branches of pruned lemon trees [C. limon (L.) Burm.] did not affect yield during the season of application or during the year following application. Regrowth of trunk and limb sprouts was controlled for approximately 1 year.
