Deficiencies in Citrus trees

9 years ago

Hello,

I have these dwarf citrus trees in a large raised bed that contains a good soil mix from the Ground Up in Houston TX. They have been in here for approx 1 year and this year they are showing some sort of nutrient deficiency. I topped dressed with Jobes citrus fertilizer and Worm castings this year and they had a lot of new growth this spring but they started showing signs of a deficiency in the last few weeks. Doing some research i found it might be Iron or Manganese deficiency but wanted to get you opinion. If it is one of those what is the best way to treat it? The leaves are starting the curl inward as well as the pale green with dark green vanes.

Thanks
Canoli

Looks more like Nitrogen deficiency. Apply more fertilizer that is especially blended for citrus. You are looking for a an NPK ratio close to 5:1:3 if possible, plus the full compliment of micronutrients (iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, calcium). Water in well. And, make sure your soil isn't too soggy. Sometimes we root will display chorotic leaves as the roots are being suffocated, and cannot absorb nutrients properly.

My meyer lemon tree in a pot produced lots of lemons the last few years. This year it had lots of blossoms which turned into teeny fruits then they turned brown and fell off. The tree has lots of new growth and looks very healthy. What could be the matter with it?
