It's been a tough winter for my Meyer lemon tree.

My Meyer lemon tree has had a tough winter. It's been a battling a pretty serious scale infestation and might've been accidentally overwatered early in the season. It grew about 13 lemons and then pooped out on me. dropped all the leaves and has struggled to regain strength in the last month. I have moved it outside now that it's starting to warm up.

Are these lighter branches dead? Or are they sun scorched from the grow lights?

Hoping to get some positive (and hopeful) responses here. I have loved this tree for four years.

It's been a tough winter for my Meyer Lemon

My Meyer lemon tree has had a tough winter. It's been a battling a pretty serious scale infestation and might've been accidentally overwatered early in the season. Otherwise, I water it on a flexible schedule based on moisture levels. It grew about 13 lemons and then pooped out on me. dropped all the leaves and has struggled to regain strength in the last month. I have moved it outside now that it's starting to warm up.
