Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania 18424Q.Falling leaves on lemon tree
I have two questions... my potted lemon tree was just brought indoors for the winter. It has 5 green lemons on it but within a week of being indoors its started to flower again. Is this ok? Also the leaves are a nice dark green but falling from tree. What am I doing wrong? I did get a citrus light and have it on about 8 hours a day. Hope you can help me.

Certified ExpertA.I really need to see a picture of how this is set up. There are a number of reasons for the leaves to drop like this. Most of these reasons are exactly opposite from each other as well, so that will not make diagnosis easy.
A few photos, including showing the distance of the light, the condition of the soil, and any other useful photos that you can get. This will help me to physically see the situation. Then, I can get an idea for what is wrong. Then I can give you the best advice on how to correct the issue.

October 12, 2018Q.Lemon tree
Our Greek lemon tree- growing in a bed, , some3 metres tall, is showing amber waxy exudes on the trunk &larger branches, also a self sown honeysuckle is now twining up the stem . Is there any cause for concern & what should I do? .it produces lemons twice a year

October 13, 2018A.Remove the honeysuckle or it will overgrow the tree. But that likely has no relation to the gummosis, which could be a fungus-like disease infection.
If it is the Phytophthora gummosis, it is hard to control an advanced infection. Here is an article with some overview and control options.

October 13, 2018Q.Lemon tree
Hi l have a lemon tree in a large pot which is over 2 yrs old from the ground it stands 2 mts high it is lovely and green has lots of flowers which in turn to a baby little green fruit after flowers has gone question is why the fruit doesn't get very big is it to young still.

October 14, 2018A.Water and soil fertility are the first considerations.
From the photos the plant appears to have a severe nutrient deficiency, as evidenced by the chlorosis (yellowing) and mottled, spotty discoloration.
First be sure that the potted plant is getting enough water to facilitate absorption and uptake of available soil minerals.
Fertilize with a complete organic fertilizer.

October 14, 2018Q.Lemons
Many of the lemons when cut have a brownish pithy pulp and sometime green seeds. I find this in fruit that appears ripe and some that still have quite a lot of green. What causes this?

October 15, 2018A.Be sure to fertilize your trees often with an all-purpose fertilizer. They may either have too much nitrogen, or not enough phosphorus. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lemons/lemons-stay-green.htm

4680Q.I have a potted lemon tree called lots of lemons, some of my fruit is maturing at infant stage and then falling off?
It's a great little tree, big lemons average 30 lemons a tree, but some are maturing at about a 5 cent piece size then dropping off.

Certified ExpertA.These are actually aborted. This is the reason that it looks yellow in color. They are not ripening early, rather, they are not taking implantation of the pollen at all. This has several potential causes.

Why is the lemon fruit brown in the center? Some of the skins are brownish in color. It's been a very disappointing tree for 10 years. We bought a Meyer lemon tree this spring and hope it will be a better one.

October 23, 2018A.It would seem as if your trees have what's called "Citrus Brown Rot". This is a rapid spreading disease, and does have treatment, but it is geared more towards prevention.
