I have a Meyer lemon tree planted in a container that I keep outdoors. It has bloomed and produced plenty of lemons for the last 4 years. Earlier this year it bloomed and small fruit started to appear. We have experienced extremely hot weather, but I made sure the tree was properly watered. Eventually, the majority of the leaves, blooms, and small fruit fell off the tree. It did recover and is fully covered with beautiful green leaves but no fruit. What happened and what should I do?

That usually means it was over watered. If it has rocks in the bottom for airiation and a hole, make certain it is on something where the excess water can drain and is in enough light to help the dirt to dry and it may get new leaves. Good luck. Don't feel bad, we've all done it.
Sorry, my bad, I didn't see your whole post. Wait a while, fertilize (sic?) and it should bear fruit the next season. It's on the mend.
I live in south georgia and I own a meyer dwarf lemon and the lady is correct on the too wet. Be sure you have good drainage and I planted mine in decomposed pinebark mulch and potting soil. I placed it in the sun and it got water each day or so but the bark held too much water so I repotted the plant got it right and it started to grow leaves now you can start to feed it and it keeps blooming and bearing year round if you don't freeze where you are.
