If your citrus trees are losing leaves right now, don’t throw it out and don’t give up. Citrus leaves falling in the winter in northern planting zones is most likely caused by stress. This could mean a lower light environment, lower humidity, or temperature fluctuations in the root zone.
Make sure you allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and hold off on the fertilizations in the cooler months of the year. Make sure you take your trees outside for the spring and summer once nightly lows stay above 50 degrees.

I like ur shirt. Born and raised in St Louis Mo. I live in Florida, sorry but your trees don’t look well. All of them need care for sure. All of them r very bare. Maybe because of where u live. Growing in a pot probably? Your leaves shouldn’t be Turing yellow so much. Citrus trees do better is u hardly water them. It’s probably why ur loosing so many leaves. I suggest u research this! They shouldn’t be loosing so many leaves, yours a bare.

I live in Vermont,I had my lemon and lime trees in my greenhouse. I put them in my kitchen.leaf drop was bad. I put them in my woodstove room with humidifiers and mist them.much better!70-75 all the time. I do have to water more often which I know I’m not getting root rot.for me it’s temperature and misting.fruit and flowers when it’s 20 degrees outside!!

I have a Meyer lemon that lost all its leaves in the Spring. It had hundreds of flowers all the flowers dropped all the tiny lemons that were starting dropped and then all the leaves dropped. It wasn't temperature. I started feeding it some of my worm casting and compost teas. All the leaves came back incredibly fast but no flowers during the summer. It's in the house now in front of a window and it has a ton of flowers. I also went from a 7 gallon pot to a 15. That might have had something to do with it.

Woke up this morning and my windowsill lemon tree has dumped a load of leaves overnight . No idea what to do. The leaves are green and moist, no yellowing or dryness. All I did recently was water from the bottom as I haven't watered in awhile since it's winter. This is the first year this is happening. My lemon and mandarin trees are all at least a few years old. The one that dropped a bunch of leaves suddenly is about 8 years old. They haven't done this before in any place they've lived. When this has happened before I've washed them in the shower which gave them a good soak and I hope washed off any invisible bugs. Where the leaves dropped new branches tended to grow on another one this happened to. But why does it happen? I can only guess too dry?

I live in zone 9a Florida. My ruby red grapefruit is planted, not in cold soil gets watered once every week or 2 if no rain. The fruit were almost ready to pick and it's dropping all of its leaves. I think this is a nutrient deficiency.

Help? We are in south Louisiana. We just planted 4 new citrus (2 satsumas, a Meyer lemon, and a grapefruit). One of the satsumas (Owari; planted in a pot with nice organic) is losing green leaves and some of the leaves are turning yellow. The lemon tree is planted in the ground in the organic soil mixed with native soil, and it is also losing green leaves and leaves are turning yellow. I wouldn’t say it’s due to temperature variation, because it’s hot all the time here.

My orange tree is defoliating now in this Arizona heat. We did replant it to a Terra cotta pot to give it room to grow from the original pot from the nursery.

@ghettomt

I just bought an orange tree form the nursery but I feel it is dying. I don't know it I should leave it indoor until I'm assured the temperature won'T drop below 5 degrees celsius.

@MyCHAARLIE

I brought my Lemon tree inside and not much leaf drop but it is starting to bloom . Guess I hand pollinate ?

@dannyxander5021

Thank you, sir! My 4 year old keylime tree started blooming for the first time, and it shed a lot of leaves. This video took my worry off. Zone 9 Texas.

@donnamorgan5656

This was excellent!!!!! Your trees look amazing! Thank you for this, I feel much better! I was panicking over my little tree.

@jackracherthomas7739

The lemon jiggling is fantastic

@MartijnLG

Thank you, I was really getting worried about my orange tree, but now I feel calmer as it still blossoms and have a fruit hanging. Probably because of the temperature change. Also I live in The Netherlands where we lack sun during winter but I just found some grow lights.

I love this channel and the content, I think this channel really can take of in a couple of months, maybe a year.

@levelzgrowroom

just subbed growmie thanks for sharing!!!!!

@441rider

Great tip, if the tree defoliates and stems go black it needs cutting or if the branches dry out. Homes are really dry sometimes.

@fishycomics

thank you. Happy New Year. Great to know its stressing out as said. I guess everything I am doing is spot on, we'll ust keep picking up the leaves, glad its another 100 days till warm weather hits again Lol. Maybe I'll throw another grow light on wrap a blanket around the base add some heat, and talk to the plant some more

Definitely agree, seasonal stress and watering variations did it for mine

Hi, I am in zone 8 and have a meyer lemon tree and key lime tree that were doing great until I brought them in. Artificial lighting is my only choice . They are dropping leaves fast, please advise things I could do to save them and help them thrive. Thank you!
