Mexican Lime Tree (forum)
1 responses
Tammy starts with ...
I have a Mexican lime tree, it's always been a good producer. However, this year, my limes fell from the tree prematurely. I noticed today, that several of the leaves have brown tips on them. Can you please help me? Very few have stayed on the tree long enough to ripen. Can please tell me what might be causing this to happen?
Thank You So Very Much,
Tammy

Hello Tammy
A photo would be good, the fruit drop could be a soil condition and something to do with the brown tips on the leaves.
Firstly I would spread some dolomite around under the tree, plenty is better than to little. Then spread some epsom salts around as well but not to much, 1/2 handfull per sq/yard [to you]
The brown tips on the leaves could be a fungus, so spray with a copper based spray such as copperoxichloride and don't forget the wetting agent. Arizona is pretty dry???? so not sure about that.
The fruit isn't going brown at the tips by any chance as well.
Others may have better ideas but the above won't hurt the tree.
