Hello all,
I'm new to the forum (and gardening in general) and have seen lots of great contributors so I'm hoping I can get some help with an issue I have with a new dwarf Meyer Lemon tree I purchased a couple months ago from Armstrong Garden Centers. I've been noticing some yellowing of the leaves over the past few weeks, but I live near the beach (Zone 10B, I believe) and I just assume it was the transplanting of the tree and the chillier weather we've been having lately. Regardless of the yellowing, I was looking at the tree today and noticed a good amount of sap dripping off the trunk. I've done some 'googling' of the issue, but haven't really come up with much. Any thoughts? The tree has been blooming like crazy the past 2 weeks and I keep pinching them off. You can see from the pics that there are still quite a bit. it's an energetic little guy. Thanks for your help.

I would try the Citrus Forum. I have Meyer Lemons and Key Lime. That is the forum I read and participate in for my citrus. They are so knowledgeable re: citrus,and very helpful. Mrs. G
