Meyer Lemon Tree disease?


Question

Meyer Lemon 1
My otherwise healthy plant is looking ill on about 1/2 of its branches.  It is in a container outside.  Please see pictures.  Do you think this is an insect or disease issue?  The brown item was taken off of one of the leaves.  I did not see any other growths, insects, etc.

Answer
Hi Terry, it really is stressed, but need to know a little more.  If it was newly planted it may be getting too much water as the plant dries from the outside of the pot in and you may only need to water mostly the outside edge of the pot and the ball could still be wet.  Do you have a container under you plant to collect water?  IF so it could be drowning as you need to dump the water out of the under bowl after 15 minutes. Does any of this make sense to you?  kathy
