Lehua, what a difference..Great job. What DID you do? LOL I've heard Epsom Salts make a difference..Then of course, Nitrgon, Iron, etc..Toni

Hopefulauthor,
Thanks. I did give the Bearss lime Tree a good dose of EPS, one tablespoon to the gallon. But it was the big kick of nitrogen and laying back on the watering that did the most I think.
I want to thank you for the pic posting info. I think it was your post instructions that were good enough to make it happen. Here is the paragraph again for anyone that may want it.

if you head over to Flickr, setting up an account is as easy as following the instructions. Then you just upload your pictures there (they give step-by-step instructions for that too), and you can click on the photo you want to post, then click on "All sizes" above the photo, and the html code will be provided below the picture. Copy that, paste it into your message here, post the message as usual, and voila! Picture posted..

Little Lime Loving Lehua looking into La La Land but lurking liable to lop onto any lousey lime or lemon louters.

Sorry about that.

Great advice.

Hi Lehua..Actually, It wasn't I who posted pic instructions, but so grateful it was done. After the poster explained, it was easy to dl a pic which I tried, only the pic came out way too large, but now I know size to use if ever I want to post.

I bet your favorite letter of the alphabet is L, right? LOL, there's two more to add to your list.

Your dog is adorable. She seems interested in exploring outdoors.

Nitro and ES's should do it, if anything. Iron also adds green to foliage. I only wonder how these ingredients effect variegated foliage..I've a few variegated citrus, and though I add Citrus fertilizer and Iron, what would ES's do? Would it decrease variegation?? Toni

Aloha Hopeful,
My pup appreciates the kind words. She is the L-Lover. I will try to experiment in the next few months with adding EPS, iron, sulfur separately and see if there is a noticeable change. Nitrogen is doing its thing right now. The variegated lemon is showing some new growth leaves. Watering schedule is my biggest priority and I am checking the soil moisture regularly. My soil doesn't drain very well, but the tree is at the top of a bank. I think I can get a sub-drain to the edge of the tree well. I am thinking of planting a Washington Navel in the bank anyway. I want to thank Rhizo and Meyermike for turning on the green light bulbs for me and pointing me in right direction. They have good sound agri-common sense.

Lehua, what do H1-N and EPS stand for? I don't want to guess and make a mistake.

Hi CitrusNut,

H1 should have been an Hi. High Fertilizer was 21-7-14 All purpose Turf Formula by Bandini. I could put on less fertilizer and get a good kick of Nitrogen. It is chemical fertilizer versus organic or slow release. EPS is my abbreviation for Epsom Salts which I read in other threads in this Forum. It was good to condition soil and green Citrus plants so I tried that too. It is MgSO4 magnesium sulfate. So I figure it would acidify the soil as well as add magnesium also usable in plants. Hope that helps.
