Heat is not the problem. The small leaves closest to the trunk are probably older and may have gone through their cycle. Meyer lemons use much more food and I lack the knowledge to help you here.

If you can post a photo or, you will get faster/more/better answers. If I should ask, "What is wrong with this cow?"... and give no more information, I would not expect to get a very valuable answer. Photos, where you live, what kind of rootstock, stuff like that. Meyers need a lot of food, especially if they are producing fruit; generally I recommend 1.5 times whatever your label recommends.

Not sure why your smaller leaves my be falling off.,

But what I can tell you is that I use a slow release once a season starting in spring and reapply every spring...

Yes, a pic is a great idea..

Here are three pictures from this afternoon. The small leaf in the container must be a newly dropped one some time today.

I am in central WI. Our weather this week looks to range from 82F-88F with majority of days on the lower end. The lows are in the mid 60s.

I will note that I do not think the tree has grown. At least there appears to be no new buds. I've had it for just over 3 weeks now.

Note: I removed the stake once and the tree was angled about 45 degrees when I went out to look at it one day. I have it re-staked and tied near the very bottom now.

Don't stress; it is just a little underfed. Meyers tend to lose leaves for a lot of reasons; but what I see here is not to worry about... just give it a little more food.

Thanks for the advice! I will add more fertilizer when I water. I will up the dose to your recommended 1.5x the box instructions.
