Variegated Dwarf Lemon

18 years ago

Hi All,

My variegated Dwarf Lemon has started to yellow in the older leaves in the middle of plant. What could cause this. I don't think it is insects. Could it be over-watering or under-watering. Over-fertilizing or Under-fertilizing. It has been hot here but nothing like the areas inland from the coast. I water about two time a week with a deep soak. I haven't fertilize for awhile. This yellowing happened quite suddenly. Take a look and see if it is something obviously going wrong. Mahalo and aloha.

That could be many things but it appears to be from fluctuations in the weather. Hot to cool then back to hot in a relatively short period. Whatever it was it doen't seem to be too severe so I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts affecting more of the tree.
