Growing lime trees in your backyard can give you a harvest of delicious homegrown limes to be used for baking or in cocktails. The sun-loving citrus trees can be easy to maintain and that includes only needing pruning every few years.
Whether you live in a warm climate that can house limes outdoors year-round, or grow your lime trees in pots to move indoors for winter, there are benefits to pruning citrus trees. A little bit of trimming can keep the tree in shape, healthy, and produce a bounty of fruit.
