Lemon Tree Dropping Leaves

Question

My lemon tree was doing great. I had about 9-10 lemons growing, all of a sudden the leaves started turning lighter, and are dropping off rampantly. Now today I noticed it dropped 2 lemons. How can I save it

Answer 1

This could be stress from being rootbound in the container, and resulting nutrient deficiencies. It could be an overwatering issue, as these will appreciate drying out down to about 1/3 of the container between waterings. Either cutting off the bottom 1/3 of the roots and replanting, or replanting into a bigger container will help with both. After that, regular feeding will help.
