Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with a lemon tree. The branches are getting swells in them and it seems to be like a cancer. The swells are spreading in to other branches on the tree. The tree has plenty of lemons and quite good I might add, but I'm worried about the future of the tree with these cancer like swells.
Thanks guys.

I am just about to leave for a days work, but I just got a message asking me to tell you that you have "citrus wasp- cut off all affected branches, then give it a good feed with a citrus food"

Thanks Denis :)

Have a great day all!

As trees are removed for placement of a new building or driveway, they may scrape bark off trunks or break branches of trees that are to be saved. These wounds serve as entry points for diseases. Improper pruning leaves branch stubs that die and begin to decay. Make clean cuts with a sharp pruning saw just outside the swollen branch collar.
that may be a problem you may need to address and what not

You need to urinate around the base more often to make it better .Ha .HA. HA
