DORMANT PHASE?

Question

My lemon tree lost all leaves this winter. Is it normal for a tree like this to be dormant for a period of time? The branches are not dead, just no leaves. If yes, how do I care for my plant during this phase.
Thank you
Barb

Thank you for sending us your gardening question. Lemon trees do have dormant periods, however they can also experience leaf drop from pests and disease. These articles may help you:
