meyer lemon leaves very suddenly yellow

5 years ago

Hi there, I planted this 3-4 year old meyer lemon about a month and a half ago. It was doing absolutely amazing. It had some leaves with yellow veins. I used a foliar spray on the effected leaves 2 days ago. This morning I woke up to this. PLEASE HELP

Dry. Water that tree, you’re in LA if I remember correctly. We live in very arid climates and this week has been hot in the south land. Your tree is thirsty and hungry. Iron chelate should be sprayed during the winter months only. You may have shocked your tree but it will probably be ok with more water and some time to recover.

What did you spray it with? Did you spray it in direct sunlight?

Echo evdesert.... a newly planted tree such as yours needs frequent watering to ensure adequate consistent moisture. Water it well every other day for the next few months, more if temps go over 95 to 100. Good luck!
