Yellow Veined Leaves - Improved Meyer Lemon
Comments (17)From the looks of your pics, the roots look healthy, and so does the new growth! I would be concerned about using fertilizer this time of year, since I am sure with the roots that bound, you are draining your pot of most nutrients everytime you water anyway...I would give a small dose at every watering. Too bad you do not have FP..It has every nutrient that your tree needs! I would also make sure it is getting Fe, by using a capful of vinegar in a gallon of water at every watering to unlock the nutrients, especially for the Fe that could be in the soil once fertilized..A good Ph makes the iron more mobile and for immediate use for your trees.. Give it a shot. A little fertilier and vinegar just might do the trick...Like I said, the new growth coming in looks great. A sign that you do not have root rot..You are also not loosing twigs or leaves at a rapid rate if at all. Hope it works out...See Moreyellow veins, curled leaves, meyer lemon
Comments (6)Better, but I'm not a fan of anything MG; if you read the label carefully, you might see it falls short in CA, MG. Many here like Foliage Pro; but I am not a container grower. My mature producing Meyers in the field get 3 pounds per year of 18-6-12 with 2% each MG and CA, plus 1% each Iron and zinc... it is specially made for me; so unless you need 10,000 pounds or more per year, you proly have to look for something close to that. FYI, I have found it nearly impossible to over feed a Meyer; but mine are all inground. Do a search here for Patty (hoosierquilt) or Mike (Meyer_mike) and you will get better advice for containers....See MoreCitrus leaves have yellow on central vein radiating out
Comments (5)Photos, please. And, what are you using for fertilizer and how frequently are you fertilizing. Impossible to tell you exactly, unless we have photos and know your fertilizing habits and product. Never use a urea nitrogen product with a potted citrus, as you can get biruret burn. You are much better off using a liquid fertilizer that is formulated for citrus, and contains all the micronutrients. Most container citrus folks on this list prefer to use Dyna Gro's Foliage Pro, along with a time release product, such as Osmocote Plus. And yes, you need to check for scale on a regular basis. It is very difficult to get rid of. A high pressure jet of water will not get rid of scale, as it is adhered to the stems and leaves.

Comments (2)I am curious...What kind of soil are you using? What's in it? What's the pH of your water? Do you ever use vinegar? Was it exposed to cold for a long time?Not that any of these are an issue, but it helps us to help you if there is a problem)) If your tree is exposed to lot's of sunlight and warm temps, then I would fertilize weakly...a weak solution until the shorter dark days...You can always tell when your tree is actively growing or just resting...I would not be concerned about disease...The problem is always always in the roots unless for some unknown reason you are wetting the leaves at night.... Mites can be a possible cause of damage like that, area's of your leaves to be drained of chlorophyl and leaf drop.......See Moregreenman28 NorCal 7b/8a
