Hello - Hoping someone may be able to diagnose our Orange and Lemon Tree issue. We have Yellow dots on most of the leaves of both plants. Eventually the dots become holes. I am unable to see any insects but we did just remove lots of stink bugs. The trees are otherwise healthy. Photo attached

It looks chlorotic and would benefit with some nitrogen fertilizer and ironite. Work those in around the plant at the drip line and water it well in.

It also looks, because it's been weakened by lack of proper fertilization, have some leaf sucking insect damage. For that you can spray it with neem oil, both the tops and undersides of the leaves need a coating.

I wouldn't fertilize if it's Wintertime and the plants are growing slowly. Those are water spots from having excess moisture in the roots. Let the soil dry more between watering and don't spray anything on the leaves.
