    Good morning -

    My name is Vanina and I am a new member. I was hoping I could get some pointers about a dwarf lemon tree I have at home.

    I purchased this young tree back in March; I planted it on my back patio on the opposite side of my dwarf citrus tree that is growing good this year.
    My lemon tree has not progress at all since I planted it and has lost the only lemon it had when I purchased it. In the past week, it has been losing all the leaves that turn flower and then fall off.
    The tree is located in a sunny area, and away from any wind. The soil on that side of the patio is definitely much more moisture then the other side where my citrus tree is located.

    Can anyone give me advice on how to make my lemon tree a happier plant?

    Thank you very much.
    Vanina

    Hi - After doing general reading on lemon tress I am starting to think that may be the case. I am not sure where to move him to. The well drained side of the yard is full already.

    I wonder if he will do well in a big planter....
