    This is my first post and I need some advice. I live in North Florida and I have a newly planted lemon tree. The tree has a lot of flowers and buds on it, but I have noticed a few leaves becoming yellow and then dropping off. Does anyone have any suggestions about what is wrong with it. I am sure the tree was not planted too deep and I put citrus food on it the first of March. I water it about 2 or 3 times a week. Thanks in advance for the help.

    You are probably overwatering which can cause root rot-- planted in ground, citrus do not normally need aditional water except during a drought. Soil should be dry at least 2 to 3 inches deep before watering.
