I have a beautiful Bonsai Lemon Tree that I got last year. It came bearing fruit and gave me two miniature lemons. I water it every week and is located in a spot near a window where it likes it a lot. I've seen it develop new leaves and small branches and even got a lot of flowers. My concern is if the pot is too tight for it, should I prune the new branches? Does anyone know how to care for this tree?

Hi
General guideline here, is to carefully nip out some of the new growth, no more than one third.
Check the bottom of the container and if roots are beginning to come through, the pot may be getting congested. Some people recommend pruning the roots when this happens. Be very careful when prunning roots as timing is critical. Only prune roots when plant is dormant and flowering / fruiting is finished.
Good Luck
