    What can I do for my lemon trees besides just water them. They are less than 1 year old.

    I've had them in the ground less than 6 mos. and we have yet to get any rain. I water them all of the time but want to know what else I can do for them.

    The most important aspect of lemon tree care is feeding. Generally, lemon trees like a lot of nitrogen, so use a fertiliser that’s high in this element. Blood and Bone (if you can stand the smell) and Thrive are good options. One of the reasons mature leaves turn yellow is nitrogen deficiency (though there are many others).
    If leaves turn yellow but still have a green skeleton structure running through them your lemon tree probably needs iron. To remedy, add iron chelates or similar to your fertiliser.
    Magnesium deficiency, indicated by yellowing leaves which maintain a green wedge at their base, can be treated by feeding with Epsom salts.

    excellent answer Volcane. I have a 12 YO Cecil Bruner Lemon and get a dozen or more full size lemons every year near Christmas. I would like to grow lots more citrus and coffee in a green house here. It snowed last night but I be ready this winter.
