Citrus leaves live for between 12 and 24 months depending on the species. If they turn yellow and drop off it is preferable, as this identifies something to treat. Its time to worry a little of they start to drop healthy green leaves with the petiole rather than just the leaf. Most common reasons for leaf drop are...Winter Leaf Drop, change in environment, lack of humidity, mineral deficiencies.
