    This article will help you determine if it is still alive:
    https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm

    If it is still alive, it can regrow its leaves. This problem is most commonly caused by underwatering, so I would recommend increasing water to the plant if it is still alive.

    All of these, except for the nectarine, will do well in containers where you live. If you want to grow nectarine (or peaches), you will need to find a variety that is suited for your area. Peaches and nectarines need a certain amount of cold to bloom, and you will need to look for a low chill variety. You will also need to make sure you can give your container fruit trees enough water. They will need watering daily most of the time.

    Yes, June to late July are the recommended times to spray, though you can also begin treatment as early as mid-May. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/greasy-spot-fungus.htm

    When planting fruit trees, it is best to plant them in the spring or fall. You should also remove any fruit from the plant for the first year. This allows the plant to focus it energy more on growing its roots and becoming well established, which will result in better yield and higher quality fruit in future years. This will help with avoiding shock: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm

    You can prune it in spring or summer. Lemon trees are pruned mainly to maintain a pleasing shape, so you can prune as you see fit to shape it the way you like. Do not cut off more than 1/3 of the plant per year as this can hurt the plant.
