Dwarf Lemon and Lime help needed

19 years ago

Hello,

I have a multitude of issues. I bought a dwarf lemon and lime tree. I planted them and then lost track of which was which. I got them as small 5 inch plants last summer (2006) and they have thrived in my greenhouse all fall and winter. They get full sun every day; temps are 50s at night and 70-90s at day (Same as last fall).

IÂve been careful on not over-watering and have been fertilizing with a 13-4-5, plant spike, I now thatÂs probably wrong, but itÂs all I had. All was well until a month ago; I started to loose leaves on both plants. I came on here and found that may be normal. SO I didnÂt panic.

Plant A

Then buds developed on plant A, I thought YAY. But now the poor thing has NO leaves. IÂve no clue what I am doing wrong, or will it lose all the leaves each spring? The blossoms are opening, very pretty. (Picture A1, A2)

Plant B

Then plant B started to get new growth, I thought YAY again. But all the new growth is a sickly yellow. (Picture B1, B2)

IÂve included pics. If anyone can tell which is which, or help with suggestions, IÂd appreciate it. Also for Plant A, should I prune this to develop side branches?
