Citrus Leaf Yellowing
Hi there.
Could anyone please give me some advice on the yellowing between veins on the leaves of my Lemon tree. The tree is about two years old and has flowered well again this year with medium sized Lemons which are still green. It is fed with a citrus liquid fertilizer on a fortnightly basis but still exhibits this yellowing in the leaves, mostly between the veins. Any ideas anybody what this apparent deficiency could be? Many thanks. Len. |

You are probably overfeeding it, too - citrus do fairly well on benign neglect. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Once I went over to summer feed, I was getting some leaf drop, especially on branches that bore fruit. I assume this is down to over-watering. I didn't water until the top surface dried out, but it looks like I will have to neglect the plant. However, I have plenty leaf growth on newer branches. Some brochures state that citrus should be watered every week in summer? -- |

Looks pretty and does a good job as an water indicator. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
