    Looks like its been inside and too hot for the winter. It may resprout if you put it out for the summer,up against a wall. Fleece it or bring it in if frost is threatened.

    Feed in the summer with citrus fertiliser or ericaceous fertiliser(miracid)

    Thank you Fidgetbones I kept it in my room over winter because I thought they were cold sensitive image

    Lemons will tolerate cold but not freezing. Keep on the dry side in winter.

    I've not grown them, but I understand that Meyer lemons are a bit hardier than other types.

    Mines been outside all winter (in the south east).  Against a wall helps.

    BTW, there's no way that yours looks dead.  Your wood is very green.
