How about fertiliser? What are you using? citrus specific fertiliser? seasol
(for root growth)? How about wettasoil? The soil in pots does seem to become
water repellant much easier than the garden.

Check the label before spraying. One of them causes leaf drop on citrus
(maybe Rogor, I don't remember, but check the label and it will warn
you). You can also spray the leaves heavily with white oil to prevent
leaf miner.

Yet another possibility is wind damage.

Thanks for the info. The lemon tree does not need water. I have been
spraying with whit oil, but no effect.
