Hi,

I recently chopped half my lemon tree down.

New shoots are sprouting out of the cuts.

Can I snip these new shoots and grow them in pots ?

Most lemon trees are grafted, your new shoots will grow if initially
planted in pots but will never achieve the status of your original
lemon tree.

Thanks for your comments.
As Andrew G says, it's worth experimenting.
I think the tree's been there since pre-1950's.
It's getting quite rotten and diseased now, hence it's upcoming removal.
The new shoots look so fresh and clean that I just want to try to grow
another lemon tree from them before I have to chop the rest of the tree
down.
Sort of 're-incarnate' the once majestic tree.
