Yellow leaves on Lemon tree...
I have a lemon tree growing in a tub, it is about 10 years old and has
been recently repotted. It has fruited well this year but now the leaves have started to go yellow. I am fairly sure that it is not lack of water and it has always been kept well fertilised with Organic Life and occasionally with Citrus food. Could anyone suggest what the problem could be? DD |

G'day,
Mine suffered a similar fate ... I reckon the cause was overwatering and overfertilising! I was killing them with kindness! I haven't watered or fertilised them in over 6 weeks and they are starting to come back - but, they are in the ground mind you! Just a thought, Cheers, Mick "DD" wrote in message ...

DD Howdy DD It's probably just a cold weather symptom and will correct itself when the weather warms a bit, but do check that the drainage holes aren't blocked. This time of year organic fertilsers don't work as well (cold soils) so you could try using a bit of liquid fertiliser on the leaves and soil if you like. Cheers CT |

A small amount of trace elements might also help.
