A question for other citrus growers here.

It has finally warmed up enough here that my citrus and other trees can go outside.

About a week ago, I got home from work to discover that squirrels had done some severe digging into the large pots my yuzu and calamondin tree are planted in.

The damage was fresh, within an hour or two. I replaced the soil and packed it back into place.

This was followed by a few warm (75 degree) but windy days.

During the week since, I have noticed some slight yellowing on the youngest leaves of both trees. The pattern of the yellowing doesn't look like mineral deficiencies (iron, zinc, or magnesium), and salts like sodium and boron are not an issue here, so I doubt it's a nutritional issue. The trees aren't overwatered, and the soil drains quickly, so I doubt it's that either. The yellowing is in faint patches on the youngest leaves - on some it's on the base of the leaf, on some, it's the sides, and the yellowing is in small scattered blotches.

I am wondering if this is (a) wind burn, or (b) root damage from digging squirrels, and if so, what should I do to repair the damage from either? If they are otherwise well-cared-for, will this gradually fix itself?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

(To prevent future squirrel issues, I have since top-dressed soil in my container trees with a mix of ground black pepper and chili powder!)
