Q.Problem With Lemon Tree.

Any help for my poorly Lemon tree, grown from a pip, would be much appreciated. Suddenly turned unhealthy, yellowing leaves and nasty brown dots on most of the leaves. Thanks, Greg.

It looks like spider mites have damaged the tree leaving it defenseless to disease. Neem oil, or its extract of azadirachtin will be an appropriate treatment. Fungicides will be necessary to control the resulting disease.
