Comments (1)Looks like spider mites; you won't see them without a good magnifying glass. A good wash outside or in the shower will go a long way to getting rid of them. My advice... lose the fertilizer spikes and replace with a good soluble citrus fertilizer applied 3-4 times per year according to the label. Your tree looks to be a little underfed; and unhealthy trees are more susceptible to spider mites. I would also get a good foliar fert. and give your tree an application of that about every 15 days; I like Bayer Bayfolan Forte; lots of container growers here use Foliage Pro... there are others. Your tree looks a bit leggy; I am guessing it gets less light than it would like....See MoreLeaves of Roses with yellow spots and turning yellow
Comments (2)What did you use for the Aphids? Leaves turn yellow, exhibit chlorosis, for many reasons and sometimes people spray inappropriate things on plants to eliminate Aphids that cause the plants leaves to die, which yours are doing. If something was sprayed on those leaves that restricted that leafs ability to breath or photosynthesize the plant will cut off nutrient flow to that leaf and it will die....See MoreCitrus tree leaves turning yellow and falling off... need help!
Comments (1)Looks like your trees might be suffering from some bark disease. You need to remove the landscape rock from near the trunk out a couple feet, it could be trapping unneeded moisture too close to the trunk and be causing that bark splitting. Can you take a close up of the trunk on both trees and post the photos? The one leafless branch on the upper photo looks like it's had twig die back, trim it back to where the branch looks green which could be at the node where it grew from. What is your grow zone? How often do you water and fertilize? Evan...See MoreHelp with orange tree - branches turning brown & leaves turning yellow
Comments (2)Looks like its getting burnt to a crisp. When did you plant it? If it doesn't have any roots set up, it's getting blazed with hot sun, and you fertilized it, I think that would cause the burning. There could be something wacky with your soil too....See Moresurfpnsbch
