Indoor citrus trees
This is my 3rd year with this orange tree and though it hasn't been a great success it doesn't look too bad. It lives in my dining room most of the year.
The lemon is a different story. We bought it last summer and it actually had a lemon on it so we had great hopes for it. Apparently putting it in the living room was a mistake. All but 2 of the leaves have dropped off and they are a bit odd looking so I suspect either an insect or disease problem and will be doing some research on the internet to see if I can figure it out.
I hope my little friend survives long enough for help to get here. The lemon it did have last summer
was lost to the squirrels. It was out in the yard for some good sunshine and bees to make it happy when the squirrel chewed off the branch it was on and then decided it didn't want it. We were sad because it was getting ripe and we had plans to slice it for tea. Somehow we just didn't want it after the animals had it.

Bringing the lemon and orange trees indoors
It may be a little early to bring these back in for the season because our night time temps aren't that cold yet but there didn't seem much point in leaving them out after the squirrel cut of the branch with the ONLY lemon on it.
The tree with the fewest leaves is the lemon and I'm not sure what to think about that orange. There are so many more leaves on it now compared to when we put it outside earlier this summer. The orange tree looks healthier right now but time will tell. I may get a plant light to keep them happy over the winter.
