I have a meyer lemon tree that was planted 3 months ago and since has not grown or shown any kind of change (well not positive change). I did speak to a local nursery and found out that it apparently was not getting enough water, the landscaping company that planted it and my other plants set the watering schedule and because they are professionals I just assumed that they knew what they were doing, big mistake on my part and I've lost a few cacti because of it. Back to the tree... It has stayed relatively the same and I did start giving it more water about a month ago (its on a drip system at about 2 gal/hr and i run it for 1/2 hr at 5:30 am which is what the nursery advised) but still nothing. I've attached a photo. I live in Las Vegas so it gets plenty of sun and heat and it does have mulch around the base, they didn't screw that up. Any advice? I know fall is a good time to fertilize and was going to be doing it soon.
