I have a beautiful lemon tree that has one limb that the leaves are turning yellow. I live in the central San Joaquin Valley of Fresno, CA. and am on water restrictions this year of 2 times a week. The tree has a lot of fruit even on the limb that is turning yellow. Any advice?
Most likely the yellowing leaves is a watering issue.
Adding 2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch can help with moisture retention.

I have an 8-9 ft lemon tree I grew from a grocery store lemon seed. It's healthy, smells wonderful and is about 5 years old. It won't produce flowers/lemons. I've checked for rootstock suckers, I water it, I give it acidic fertilizer. Help!!
Most likely you will not get any fruit from this tree. If you want a better chance at fruit, purchase a dwarf tree that has been grafted onto rootstock at a nursery or garden center. That being said, it is not impossible.
If you are seeing lots of foliage growth with little to no blooming, then it's likely a nutrient imbalance - too much nitrogen, which produces lush growth, and too little phosphorus, which is responsible for flowering and fruiting. Without flowers, you won't get fruit. I would give the trees a high phosphorus fertilizer, or add bone meal to the soil.

I have a lemon tree planted from a seed for more than 2 yrs. But still it doesn't gives fruit. Its height is more than 10 foot and its stem is not so thick. The area in which it is grown is having 5 foot height and 3 foot breadth. Thanks.
Oftentimes, lemons grown from seed may or may not produce fruit, but if it does produce fruit this may take many years, and when it does produce lemons, the lemons, MOST LIKELY, will not be edible or extremely slow growing. Since there's really no way of knowing for certain, you could try adding more phosphorus (bone meal) to the soil to help encourage the flowering and fruit growth.
We live in Chesapeake, VA and bought a lemon tree 3 years ago. At that time it had lemons on it. The tree has thrived and in spite of regularly fertilizing, mulching, lots of sun and acid grounds, but it's not bearing any fruits. What can we do?? Thank you for your help.
I would try giving it some phosphorus rich fertilizer, like bone meal. If it is lacking phosphorus, it will not be able to produce blossoms (which means no fruit.)
The requirements for lemons are very similar to that of limes. If you have not read it yet, this article may also be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/reasons-and-fixes-for-lime-tree-not-producing-blossoms-or-fruit.htm
I'm growing a lemon tree from seed. I've got two of them sharing a pot. The large one is nearly 5 inches tall and the smaller one about 3 inches. Should I repot them now? Also, the smaller one has a lot of yellow leaves. Please tell me how to care for them. Thank you.
I would separate them and grow as individual plants.
Yellowing leaves generally indicates a watering issue. Either to much or to little.
Make sure you have adequate drainage in the pots and are using a good quality potting soil.

Happy gardening!
Our lemons hardly has any juice. The fruit is big and is so compact. How can I get more juice in the fruits?
