Lemon Tree Yellow Spots: Sunburn, Not Disease

Monika's lemon in Punjab, India developed yellow spots that browned and dried leaves after a sudden temperature rise. No chemicals used.

Diagnosis: Physical/Chemical Injury

Spots resemble sunburn from sudden exposure of shaded leaves to intense light. Not an infectious disease.

Recommendations

  • Remove affected leaves if few.
  • Monitor new growth for recurrence.
  • Maintain even soil moisture (no extremes).
  • If persists, consult local garden center for on-site view.
