    My Meyer lemon tree produced about 40 nice sized lemons 2 seasons ago. One day last year I went to check on the flower growth/new leaf growth. To my supprise all he flowers were gone and the new growth was chewed down to the nubs. No new lemon last year. This year I had high hopes, I fertilized and kept an eye out for little chewy bugs. The tree went to flower. needless to say I was very happy to see all the new flowers. The flowers have since gone, but no baby lemem pearls were left behind. I have good leaf growth but no lemons for a 2nd season. Can someone tell me what might me be cause? too much watering?. The tree is about 6-8 years old and gets direct sun all year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Diego
