Sounds like scale insects.
Treat the leaves with Neem Oil.

I've got a meyer lemon tree and have had it for a few years now.. this year.. it's going crazy with growth.. have over 30 lemons growing easily (last couple of years, been about 2-3).. I live in Atlanta, keep the plant indoors in the winter then move outside once warm enough.. Question.. so it's a big plastic pot.. 30" diameter.. I did however put some stuff at the bottom of the pot, plastic bottles etc.. so I didn't fill the whole thing up with soil.. but I have some flowers and a couple little pepper plants that I just transplanted to my garden and noticed the soil is pretty firm.. lots of root growth all over the place.. wondering if I should try and pull the lemon tree out and take out the plastic bottles at the bottom of the pot to let the tree grow a bit better and maybe add some more soil or peate or something else? just seems crowded.. Thanks
A general guideline for repotting is every 3 to 4 years.

I have a small lemon tree and a lime tree that we have been feritlizing for some time now. They are finally producing blossoms but they never produce fruit. One of the trees has a white gooey substance that attaches to the blossom. Can you tell me what is causing the emblem and what. Can do about it.
There can be several reasons for lack of blossoms and fruit.
I've listed several articles to help you.

I bought a small lemon and kumquat bush 2 weeks ago (image 1+2). They come originally from Sicilly. I put them on the balcony. The lemon was repoted (normal soil, not a special citrus one). It was sunny and warm the whole time now in may and i think the night temperatures didn't fall under 10°C. I fertilized them with a normal liquid fertilizer only once, but even before that, (during these 2 weeks) something started to happen (image 3+4). The lemon has brown spots on its leaves and the kumquat leaves look like they are withering. I watered them regularly, almost every day, because it was very warm outside. I also have a lemon tree (image 5) grown from seed 7-10 years ago, but it hasn't had flowers yet. I've noticed that it has brighter leaves than those (grafted) sold in the supermarkets. Sorry for my bad english.
It does look like it could be sun damage. Avoid splashing water onto the leaves. Water at the soil level. Make sure the soil is well draining and that it is not holding water.
Check the moisture levels before watering.
Soggy soil can cause root rot and fungus issues.

My lemon tree has lots of little lemons coming but they are all black. It's been outside sheltered all winter and covered up. Can you please tell me if this fruit is no good do to the very cold winter we have had . Do I pick them off or leave them.
Black fruit would not be normal.
Check the tree for signs of Sooty Mold. Treat with Neem Oil.

Hi, I have grown two citrus trees from a single seed 7 months ago in a 1 gallon pot. I just found out that the two are came from a seed called polyembryonic seed and found out that the two trees have their own root system(I thought they share one root system). My question is, should I kill off the other tree and let the other tree live solo in a 1 gallon pot or will it be okay to just leave those two sharing a 1 gallon pot? They are 9 inches tall now. Here's a sample pic.
Many citrus seeds have multiple embryos, multiple plants from one seeds frequently happen.
I actually would very carefully separate the plants.
My lemon tree leaves are turning yellow. What does it need? My newly planted gardenias are whithering away. My husband had me put cow manure around them because he said they would thrive. However, they were shocked! I tried to wash it all away but it still looks awful. Can I save them?
Yellowing leaves can indicate watering issues; too much or too little.
You should also check your plants for signs of pest or disease.

Hot cow manure yes, was likely way to much nitrogen for your plants.
Remove as much as possible and flush the soil.
Manure should be properly composted and then is a great soil amendment for most plants.
Gardenia are finicky plants and may not recover.
