# I cut some gall wasps out of my baby lemonade tree. It’s only about…

_Posted by Tata’s Plants on 2026-03-18_

I cut some gall wasps out of my baby lemonade tree. It’s only about 16 months old. I’m getting mixed advice on whether it will recover or if I should remove it altogether because the fruit might taste awful once it starts producing.

The tree looks okay overall, but some of the leaves are looking a bit stressed since I removed all the galls.

Any advice would be really appreciated. All I want in life is to successfully grow a few citrus trees, and I currently have three!
