I have a Meyer lemon tree. Three years ago I got over 500 lemons off the tree. The following Spring a hard freeze came and killed it back to the ground. I thought we had lost it but then last year it came back and I got 3 dozen off it. Meyers are the best lemons ever. I never thought they would do so good in Central Georgia but I planted it on the south side of my house (very close) and it gets the warmth from the house. I don't use pesticides on the tree and have never had a problem with insects.
Regarding shriveled leaves on Meyer lemon tree: i had this on mine. When I examined underside of leaves, I could see that there was something organic and unwanted going on. I made a simple spray of plain water, small amount of dishwashing liquid, small amount of baking soda and small amount of hot red pepper (I recommend using a hot pepper sauce, like Tabasco, because ground cayenne or other pepper can plug the spray mechanism. So can undesolved baking soda.) Spray on leaves 4 or 5 times a week for a week, reducing to 3-4 days a week for second week. This gets rid of the culprit. OK to treat for longer period or repeat as needed. Won't harm the leaves.
