hi everyone,

i have a lemon tree and it's leaves are turning yellow, I'm not sure what
could cause this can anyone help me out, is there any info i can give you

to
help fix this?

thanks luke



It's a mineral deficiency, most likely of Nitrogen. Feed it with a
nitrogenous manure like dynamic lifter (chook poo) or if you want to go the
chemical route (Lanes, Yates etc) citrus food. Particularly with the
latter, which is very concentrated, don't overdo it or all the leaves will
fall off! If you are in a cool area wait until the last likely frost before
you feed or you could encourage new soft growth that will be burned off by
the next frost.
