Why is your Meyer yellow? Have you checked roots or overwatered? They like water, but need not to sit in the water, yellow sounds drowned.

Kitt,
When it got cold, I brought a new, potted, Improved Meyer Lemon into the garage for about a month. It was covered in blooms, but, by the time I put it back outside (about 6 weeks now), they had all fallen off.

It has settled down, and is covered in buds, again. I've been watching it carefully for bud/bloom drop, but so far, so good.

I've fertilized it twice since I put it out again. Anything else I should do?

Thanks!

Think they just like water, fertilizer mine only gets 2x a year, but I am using a citrus fertilizer granule form, and it just got repotted in citrus soil, so, just water and drainage and sunshine.
