Give some citrus food (liquid fertilizer) and those leaves will come back to green. Also replant that thing into a bigger pot, with some serious potting mix, also keep the water up to the poor little thing as well as a seaweed based liquid fertilizer occasionally. Follow these rules and your new name will be "LEMON MAN".

That certainly makes me feel batter! I'll try to be patient! :-)

@jjdonohoo My lemons turn yellow around September or October and the they are ready to pick by November.

I purchased a meyer lemon tree from a local nursey in April of this year. It had been cultivated to thrive in the climate of North Texas and currently has about 20 lemons on it. I was about convinced I had a Mexican lime tree instead. Picked one of the smaller fruit and it has seeds. Now, the limes we get here are seedless. So how long does it take for meyer lemons to turn yellow!!! some are large enough but are still green!

yellow leaves means no nutrients maybe from overwatering

The trees started out in pots for the first couple of months. When they reached about 3 ft i planted them in the ground with some compost made of leaves, grass, plant material, etc.

One thing that i noticed was that before each of the trees gave fruit, I think like half of the leafs turned yellow and fell off on each one of them. then as the new spouts came out the flowers also came out.

My trees roots go out about 2-4 ft from the trunk as far as the longest branch.

I live in South Texas near Brownsville.

I didnt use any fertilizer for the 1st 2 yrs. On the 3rd year i started using Miracle Grow fertilizer(powder that attaches to water hose). Im not sure whether that helped the 1st tree give fruit because the other 3 didnt even flower. I would apply every 3-4 weeks. Last fall (2009) I used HI-Yield Fertilizer 2 Types (Growers Special and Pecan & Fruit Fertilizer) This is a granule that is applied around the base of the tree then water. once a month.
