Re: How to treat lemon tree with bulging branches?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @marywelsh. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about citrus care.
 

It looks like your lemon tree is affected by citrus gall wasp, especially since the branches appear swollen or lumpy. This isn’t normal and is a common issue in many parts of Australia.

 

The best way to manage it is to remove the affected sections before the wasps hatch in late winter to early spring. We’ve got a helpful step-by-step guide on how to identify and treat gall wasp here: How to control citrus gall wasp.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
