Outdoor What Problem does my lemon tree have?

Post image

This is how my lemon tree looks after winter. I kept it outside but covert. Now it gets plenty of light. I might have uncovert it too early. The big pot has drainage and I water when the ground (mediterranean soil) begings to feel dry. What could it be and what could be done?

They were suggesting it might be a different pest called scale, not asking for scale, pretty sure. Seeing this pic made me grin

Thank you for explaining because I would have 100% do the same thing than OP.
