When I was taking pics of the strange elongated yuzus, I noticed that their leaves were much lighter in color than the ones of branches with the "real" yuzus. My eyes went downward and I noticed that yup, sure enough, all these wrong ones were from a main branch that was close to the ground--NOT the main stem!
Somewhere along the way, I missed pruning out this sucker and I think it is from the root stock. So of course in my excitement I forgot to take pics of this stem, so I will hopefully remember and do so this week.
But doesn't this explain why I am getting different fruit?
I plan to wait till they ripen, just out of curiosity.
Question: is there a time of year I should prune? I usually do this in the spring or later.
