My wife and I purchased three lemon trees and one lime tree at the end of 2023 at Costco and we’re starting to worry about how the leaves are looking. The potted tree gave 5 lemons, lime tree (4th picture) gave one and the lemon tree in the second picture gave two last year and to see so many flowers on each tree now is so exciting! 

We live in low 30’s/high 60’s in winter and triple digit heat in the summer, luckily it’s a nice in-between temperature now, mid 70’s. 

We *are* worried about the color of the leaves, though. The lime tree had a branch of only yellow leaves, so I ended up picking them out, and the potted lemon tree started out with lush green colors but recently, it’s been getting yellower like the picture. The lemon tree in the second picture had lots of yellow/green leaves, but it’s getting greener by the day. We’re so proud of tree number 3, though! It honestly didn’t look like it would ever start coming along, the leaves were yellowing, branches weren’t full, we did not have a good feeling about it, but it’s more than double the size it was last year and has tons of flowers on the branches!

Back to the yellowing question, should I rotate our potted lemon tree? Is it getting too much sun? I give it a good douse every couple of days. The rest of the trees are scheduled to be watered on a drip feed for 9 minutes at 6am and pm., is that too much/little?

Thank you all for reading this! 🙏🏻
