amanda says... I think we need more information here Eddie..? Is the graft dying maybe? How old are your other trees? Tell us everything you have done and how much water and fertilisers they have had - and the pH of your soil would be good? Sand, loam or clay? Not to say that Julie doe not have a point there about snails (I don't have them here - so wouldn't know really..)? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton Mid West WA 21st September 2010 11:33pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Hi Amanda the orange and mandarine trees are about 6 months old i have 3 other citrus trees 5 years 3 years and the other one is 1 year so all up i have 5 trees my soil is clay but put clay breaker for a few years and is draining very well. I water it once a week not much been raining here and feed them start of the month just cant understand because my other trees are perfect there spaced out well i did have a look on the net at plants that have magnesium deficiency and similar results as mine they say to use Epsom salts so will try that any other ideas will be great. | About the Author Eddie Melbourne 21st September 2010 11:55pm #UserID: 948 Posts: 71 View All Eddie's Edible Fruit Trees |

au0rey says... Rob, did you use fresh chook poop? Could that have caused nitrogen drawdown as the leaves look pale. They dont look too curly (peach curl is much worse-looking). The leaves do not show any pattern of deficiency apart from looking paler than normal. Must say citrus are so hard to grow..they are really fussy sensitive stuff...last year my kaffir lime in pot was quite cranky and after planting into the ground, turned yellowish but fortunately after giving some chelated iron, it bounced back and has been doing well since then... Yes Amanda you are right, when they do have some deficiency, they show it quite obvious... | About the Author Melbourne 27th November 2010 8:52pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rob says... Thanks guys. The ph would be anyones guess, I am not that way inclined. I think it might be the fresh chook poop. 2 chooks make a whole lot of poop for a small garden and it usually gets thrown straight onto the veggie garden or the pots. Guess i will have to hold onto it for a while and see how it goes! | About the Author Rob10 1st December 2010 9:19pm #UserID: 3961 Posts: 24 View All Rob10's Edible Fruit Trees |
