Lemon tree

[jimmy9136]

My lemon tree looks like it's dead.

I used to have it in our patio under a roof so didn't get a lot of natural sun.. since moved outside to see if I can save it.

Any advice would be amamzing.. do I trim it all back amd cut of brown dead looking branches.

Did notice there is some green

Remove the little sprouts at the bottom. They are suckers from the rootstock and won’t be the same as the lemon you want. Remove any branches that are brown and dry; they are dead. Look at what is left and decide if you want to keep working on it. If you do, post pictures of what left and we’ll help from there.

You have your lemon tree plant too deep in the pot. I would take the top inch or two off the surface of the pot to allow the new growth to grow. Also, make sure that in the Spring the plant gets at least 6 to 8 hours of Full Sun. If that pot lacks good drainage then you may need to exchange pots with something that has better drainage. You can remove any dead wood on the plant.
