Re: what's wrong with this lemon tree?
If iron fixed it before, why not shoot it some iron again? My lime tree isn't in the ground, but it does seem to need iron on a regular basis to stay green.
It could be either overwatered or underwatered. Only you will know if you're watering it too much or not enough. What's your gut feeling? are you watering it more than once a week deeply? and it's not 90 or over outside?
If it's underwatered, it will dry out. If it's badly overwatered it will dry out as well even though you're pouring the water to it. Because the roots rot and then it will not be able to take up the water even though there'd plenty of it.
another thing to consider--You don't have spider mites or mealybugs do you? Mine had mealybugs and it nearly defoliated the whole thing before spring was over and I had time to really look at it and see what was wrong.
