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


Had a similar problem some 30 years ago
Situation : WA, sandy white "soil"

A friend qualified in this area (ag science) advised me to apply a spray
of Molybdenum (sulphate??) to the leaves. He supplied me with (from
memory ... molybdenum sulphate ???? ... 30 years ago .. sorry)
This had the desired effect.


Yep, it could be a trace element deficiency. There are quite a few things
that cause leaf yellowing, I suggest starting with common ones (citrus are
heavy feeders of nitrogen) and going on to rarer ones if it don't improve.

Default yellow leaves on lemon tree

Lime and chook manure has been my best friend when it comes to oranges
and lemons.
Most soils tend to go acid and this helps fix it.

Go outside, stand right near the root system, and tip the liquid contents
of the gazunda on the roots
best feed system for any lemon tree
..

Another way to look after it
See the movie "The Fastest Indian"

Theres a good hint in there for looking after your lemon tree!

No-one has yet claimed that they do have one.

However some of us do appear to have some general knowledge.

It "goes under" the bed. It's a chamber pot.

Or deliver it personally, my trees like the service.
