Zoltan,
I'm not an expert on container growing. And I have no idea what you or Mother Nature did to that pitiful plant there.
But last year I had a Lemon Boy in a container go south on me in the middle of a heat wave. I notice you're out in the Southwest. Is it very hot and dry there now?
I cut back all the wilted, yellowed, and ugly foliage ... in your case everything but that one lively lookin' branch on the left side of the photo ... and I cut off all the fruit and flowers and then babied the thing back in August ... watering it almost daily when it was hot and dry ... and it recovered, grew a lot of new leaders, set a bunch of flowers, and went ahead and made a passle of fruit ... most of which I had to pick green and ripen indoors.
But you're out where the growing season may be longer than mine. So, you still stand a good chance.
