I've grown lemons in an area that gets down to almost freezing. They are hardier than any other citrus. If you don't have soil depth, build a raised bed.
Use citrus fertilizer ... (not being a smartass, just saying that's a common formula)
Lemons (citrus) get chlorosis here; the citrus formulas have the iron chelate in them.
My lemons are suffering from black sooty mold /aphids.
The way to control this is to get rid of the ants that farm the aphids that excrete the honeydew that the sooty mold lives on. [

Mine is still suffering because I don't like to use poison around food crops.
