Fruits and Nuts: What's wrong with my trees?, 0 by 12mockingbirds

I am not sure whether I have the same problem. I am in New Orleans, planted my citrus (Meyer Lemon, Ruby Grapefruit, and Persian Lime) slightly high to keep roots slightly above water line when it rains. I've had problems with leaf miners several times since planting in October of 07, but weren't able to catch them in time. I removed all buds but one on the lime tree ...there were massive amounts, but not many leaves this year.

Four days ago about half of the leaves on the Meyer Lemon turned bright yellow and about a third dropped. Only a few dropped on the other trees.

I admit I allowed bermuda grass to creep into the one foot root zone around the trunk, because I was afraid that pulling them might harm the roots.

Hopefully you can tell me what the problem is. Thanks for any help.
