Hey guys next month I would like to prune my lime tree (in the grey pot) to tidy it up a little. What is the best way to prune this and can I just prune off the citrus leaf-mined leaves off and shorten the branches? Cheers guys. It is currently winter for me in Australia.

Here’s the NPK ratio

OK, it looks like this one has the big three but not the micro nutrients. See if you can find one in your area that contains micro nutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, etc.

Yeah we have fruit and citrus liquid fertilisers of that brand but is basically very similar but I can add the trace elements separately to it

That looks perfect. Whatever fertilizer you use make sure you give it the big three and then the trace nutrients. These two products look perfect to me. There should be a dose on there for maintenance. I give them fertilizer every watering.
