syb starts with ... This cumquat is 3 mt plus tall, in full fruit, I need to save it from a house demolition. Can I prune any height off? Can I prune any from round the tree? And not affect its health? Will be using a bob cat to dig up.....as best we can, is the drip line adequate distance for most roots? Any advice please. Thank you | About the Author syb deans marsh 14th May 2016 12:43am #UserID: 11792 Posts: 3 View All syb's Edible Fruit Trees |
Brain says... I don't have any experiences in moving one off the ground but I know you can prune it quite hard, i.e. leave a leader and a few limbs. The only catch is, it will take at least a year to recover and maybe 2 to see fruit. I've had a nagami that died back to the main trunk but with a bit of worm juice, recovered. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 16th May 2016 5:49pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

syb says... Thank you for this, makes me feel more confident. I am driving into the town today to prune it. A Beautiful, robust, tall, healthy 70 year old Norfolk Pine was.....'killed' yesterday in the backyard, I could not stay to do the cumquat.....was upsetting to see/hear the tree being destroyed.
