I live in Texas and we had a really bad freeze in January. It was outside for maybe a day or so and immediately turned yellow. I brought my lemon tree (passed down from my grandma who has passed away) into my home and it soon lost all of its leaves. Once spring rolled around, I brought my lemon tree outside thinking it was just missing sun and water. Well it’s been outside for about a month and a half and my stems were still yellow and no leaves were coming back. I pruned all the dead off and now these have started sprouting from the bottom. I was reading something about how sick trees will have “root stocks” (not sure if that’s the correct term) and anything below the graft should be taken off. Can someone PLEASE help a beginner out? 😅

(Pictures from our hard freeze to currently, last picture is what I’m hoping my tree will return to)
