    I am so so so glad i have found this website. I have a riding lawnmower and just ran over my baby grapefruit tree, The tree is still in tact. The roots are still in the ground but its branches are hanging from their limbs. The tree is about 6 inches tall.
    Anyone know how i can help my baby tree grow and not die?

    a picture of the extent of the damage will probably help determine if it can be saved or not . weedeater and lawnmower monsters are not any good for plants i have a few trees with scars from before i made beds around my plants so now there is no way to get anywhere close to the plants no grass near them no more lawnmower monsters

    As long as it is not damaged at the soil level, top it where the damage is. It will reflush below where you top it.
