    I just recently repotted her. When I bought her she already had some stuff going on with the leaves but it didn't look that bad. I'm not sure if I just didn't notice how bad it really was or if it's gotten worse.

    Is this damage from bugs chomping on it? She has two small green lemons that are bigger than all the others and I really really hope they don't fall off before they finish growing!! Thanks.

    Let me start by saying I've never grown a lemon tree.
    But it looks a little dry to me. Maybe just shock from being repotted?

    Have you had bad wind or storms? the holes look like damage from a projectile, not insect damage.

    I agree with Carolyn. Does look dry though.

    We did have a couple really windy days. I repotted it and gave it a good watering. THEN I googled it and I used regular potting soil. I saw that I should the cactus soil. I'll have to get more of that. My poor plants!!!
