    This could definitely be aphids. You will want to spray it with neem oil in the early morning once every few days until there is no more sign of infection.

    I believe this is a duplicate, and has been answered on the one with the picture.

    You will want to use neem out while there is no direct sun. This is what causes the burning. You have to apply it multiple times, and scrape off as many of the scale as you can. There are many other methods for killing these as well.

    Thank you for your reply, however, my question was not answered. I have gotten rid of scale and I did use the neem oil outside on a cloudy and 70 degree temp day. Brought tree back inside for duration of winter and is located by a glass door receiving full light all day. My unanswered question is why are the leaves drying and falling? Normally the plant is producing lemons now but no sign of any although I did have alot of flowers. Should I prune back the tree and if so, how much? My tree is 4 feet in height.

    Spring is a great time to repot-just as the tree is entering it's growing season.
    Fill a new pot-1 size larger, 1/4 full with a similar potting soil.
    Remove the tree from the old container and examine for roots that may be encircled around the base.
    You can cut through these roots with a clean knife to ensure the plant takes up nutrients and water in the new container.
    Set the tree in the new pot and adjust the soil so that the top of the root system sits 2 inches below the pot rim.
    Fill in the soil around the root system and water throughly and add more soil if needed.

    You can get by with as little as 10 gallons of soil. So space won't be an issue. These will do just fine as espalier trees. Here is an article for general care of these trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lemons/growing-meyer-lemons.htm

    You should only fertilize in spring unless you use a liquid feed. I recommend a granular once per year. There are many on the market made, specifically, for citrus.

    It is also worthy to note that they will not be able to produce fruit indoors without supplemental lighting. Even a south facing window will not do, as the light is still filtered a little through the glass.

    I recommend at least 200 watts of horticultural grade lighting. I prefer LED as they consume less energy, and produce less heat.

    Here is an article that will give you even more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/growing-citrus-trees-indoors.htm
