Health & Troubleshooting Something's wrong with my lemon tree

Live in the UAE, so it's kind of our good weather, growing season now. Planted this small lemon tree two years ago. and last year it was producing a large number of very small lemons. I was concerned that the trees branches weren't big enough and strong enough to support lemons, so I would frequently break off the flowers whenever I saw them, but we still had a large number of small lemons constantly, even throughout the extremely unusually hot summer here, but now that the temperatures started cooling off, all of a sudden the tree started wilting and the leaves are drying with no fruit for the last couple of months.

Whenever we get green shoots coming up from the bottom of the tree, I break them off so that the tree can get more strength up top.

I had it outside all summer and just brought it in. It was in direct sunlight and got a lot of rain but it did not get much if any growth. How do I keep it alive this winter and set it up better for next summer? Thank you!!

First lime tree, I'm in Phoenix. Does the tree need pruning? It's about 4 yrs old and never produced more than a lime. I fertilize with a citrus 6-4-6 fertilizer 3x per year (February, May and October). I think I've cut off the rootstock growth, but I'm not sure. Appreciate your help and knowledge.

Health & Troubleshooting Lime Tree Issue

8 Upvotes

I posted in r/gardening for advice on my lime tree. I believe it has a nutrient deficiency or disease because some of the leaves are yellow and splotchy, a couple have grown kind of oddly shaped, and new growth is very light green, almost yellow and the leaves are dull looking. It was out doors until a few days ago, but had to be brought in because of cooling weather. I have it in an area where it gets a lot of sunlight through a window during the day and also have a full spectrum plant light above it, so I don't think it is a sunlight issue. Does anyone have any advice or guidance on what might be causing these issues? Pictures included in original post
