Susanne42:
Interesting. Kinda like espalier? Wondering if that would work for container citrus too but then might get difficult to move around

Citradia:
Didn't know it worked for citrus like it's does for apples and pears.

Millet:
Citradia, see there you go,  I didn't know it worked for apples and pears.

Citradia:
Yes. You tie rocks or some kind of weights on the branches of young pear/apple tree to bend branches and it makes them produce flower spurs for the next year. I've tried it, and it works well.
