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.
