Another yellowing question

Matt z5b - Greenhouse 10a

Pretty soon it won't have any leaves LOL. I have fertilized this cara cara and no improvement. It was planted in early March. It just stared doing this in July and the temps have been 100F most of the summer. It gets lots of sun and I think water.. None of the other three in ground are doing this and they all got the same fert. Any ideas? lack of water.. I thought maybe poor soil there but I removed a fig that thrived there to make room for the citrus.

Hi Matt)

Cara cara, hard to please. Extra low pH fertilizer should do the trick)

Is that planted in the ground in your greenhouse? I have a spot in mines and have no idea what to plant. lol

Yes Mike it is in the ground. I stand corrected . A dated photo says it was planted Feb 7 2020

Nov 4 I watered everything day before yesterday.

Looking a little worse.

It's decided to start growing again. Funny time going into December. Although the washington navel orange aways starts growing in Dec. Maybe that's their thing!

Matt, just use anything fertilizer like that acidifies the fertilizer solution or vinegar and it should green up nice for you. Too bad you can't use rain water) Still looks good to me buddy.
