    My lemon tree has brown marks on top and underside of leaves, also on trunk. When cleaned off they are soft brown yellow colour. Ii is also shedding some leaves. How do I treat this problem for good?

    Sounds like an infestation of soft brown scale. Treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil. Details can be found by reviewing past postings on the subject.
