Yellowing Lemon Tree

17 years ago

Well everything was going well with my lemon tree up until a few days ago. Everything started turning yellow, the leaves, some of the fruit. I did fertilize about ten days ago. Now the bigger fruit that is on there is starting to yellow and not be as firm. Any suggestions? And also, how should I go about pruning this thing? I seem to be missing a lot of leaves at the base of the plant.

Are all of the roots under the soil? It's hard to tell in the photo. How is your drainage on your pot? Could be many things, over or underwatering, or overfertilization.
Where are you located and what kind of sun does the plant get (morning sun, full sun, etc)?
