hi there,
please see attached images of my lemon meyer tree and lime/orange tree. the detail shot shows leaves broken by the wind.
we live in bowral and we are getting very high winds that will go for another couple of days. large trees down etc all over the place.
the larger lime/ orange has been established a year, but the lemon is new and it has the worst damage.
i cant move the pots or reduce the wind but should i be pruning these leaves off or not after the wind? or leaving till spring? id need to prune the branches i assume rather than just removing the torn leaves from them?
anything else i can do? is seasol any help?
im a complete novice and have found this site inspiring..thanks jason

I wouldn't worry too much. Your little trees look healthy enough and will repair themselves over time. You may need to be careful with adding fertilisers; its easy to go over the limit in the confines of a pot. Good luck with them.
