When to notch?

[Tortuga]

I have a few citrus that I would like to have more lateral growth and bush out more. I have watched some videos on how to notch fruit trees. Can citrus be notched and if so when is the best time to do so?

I assume your tree is growing in a container.  If so, you can cut off the main central stem of the tree at approximately 2 foot of height.  After doing so, the tree will began to produce side branching growth in several weeks time.

I don't notch my citrus and I get.

Most of my branching forms at the graft line.  My rootstock is Flying dragon so I know a root stock sucker by its leaves of 3.

I don't have much experience with notching. However, I tried it after watching some videos. My tree branched out just about everywhere except where I notched. So.... I don't put too much stock in notching.
