Interested in your thoughts here. This is our dwarf citrus tree - it's about 3 years old. We generally kept it in the house in the winter and put it outside in the summer. It got too big for the large pot it was in, so I planted it outside. Before that, it had lost all its leaves. After a few months outside, it appeared the main branches died, but then it began to sprout both below and above the graft. I pruned the main branches, where there was no growth and removed the growth below the graft.

Looks amazing! I love your yard and the tree looks good to me. Are you somewhere in CA? Free tree advice hack: your town probably has an arborist or public works department with a few on staff and they love to talk trees! They may even offer to come take a look. Def worth a call to ask

Looks good to me! Lots of healthy new growth. Continue to prune off anything originating below the graft and otherwise keep up the good work.

Oh, and get that mulch away from the trunk if you don't want the trunk to rot. Should be at least a couple of inches of space between the trunk and any mulch.

Mulch is good, piled up against the trunk is bad 🙂 the term arborists use for extreme cases is "mulch volcano". See e.g. https://extension.unl.edu/statewide/dodge/mulch-volcanoes-a-harmful-practice-for-trees/ but if you Google mulch volcanoes you'll find many other universities recommending the same practice of avoiding bark-mulch contact.

It’s getting acclimated to the outdoors. Keep paying attention to it. As long as there is new growth or the stem/bark doesn’t dry out, it will be fine.

Oh yea, I can't remember what kind of citrus bc it never really produced fruit. Some kind of tangerine.

Does anyone know what’s going on with my philodendron? I’ve had this plant for years and just recently got it to start producing new leaves again and all the new ones have these lighter spots, but all the old growth is just a solid dark green like the leaf in the background. Good thing, bad thing, or just a thing that happens? Anyone have some insight?
