Young lemon tree dropping leaves...

17 years ago

Please help! We live in Tennessee and have moved 4 trees grown from meyer lemon seeds indoors. The trees are less than 1 year old. Three of our plants seem to be healthy but the fourth has a rough brown stem and is losing what appear to be perfectly good leaves. Are we witnessing the death of this small plant...or can it be saved? We have only four leaves left.....

Wish I could send a longer response but its past bedtime this end of the pond! Look up everything you can on this forum on Winter Leaf Drop (WLD) using the search function at the bottom of citrus forum page. Use google too. Nothing to be alarmed about if this is the case. More info on everything about how you look after these plants is required. Watering, fertilizer, growing medium, environment, size etc
