My Eureka Lemon does this every year. I have read this is normally caused by nitrigen being depleted.
To amend the soil, I "brew" up a cow manure compost tea with some slow release citrus fetilizer mixed in for good measure.
I pull back the mulch, slowly soak the soil with the tea and replace the mulch. After about a week the tree starts all sorts of new leaves and branches.
