# I have a Myer lemon in a large pot. Last year I noticed these yellow…

_Posted by Bibliofan on 2024-03-05_

I have a Myer lemon in a large pot. Last year I noticed these yellow dots. I thought it was a fungus so I dusted. This year the tree has yellowed significantly and even the new leaves are crunchy. I am still getting blooms and fruit forming. I fertilize with Jobes. Any idea what is going on? Should I dig out topsoil and replace it?

I would test the Ph in my soil, especially for a lemon tree that requires very specific soil needs.

My first guess is a nutrient deficiency
