Nitrogen fix - how do leaves respond?

11 years ago

Hello All,

So my Meyer was lacking Nitrogen - classic yellowing leaves, upside down Christmas tree, etc. My question is, when I fix the Nitrogen deficiency, will the yellowing leaves actually turn back to full green, or will the effect only show up in new growth?

If it does turn yellow leaves green, how long should it take if conditions are right?

Thanks in advance.

Unlikely the yellow leaves will turn back to green; but the new growth should be better. BTW, the upside down Christmas tree in the leaves is a symptom of Magnesium deficiency, not nitrogen. A little shot of Epsom salt (Magnesium Sulfate), should cure that. Meyers are very heavy users of Mg; my custom fertilizer has 2% Mg, and still I sometimes add a bit more. For my garden Meyers I give them Magnesium Sulfate every time I put it on my roses.
