I've done a search on the forum and couldn't find a post relating to this. I have yellow leaves on some of my citrus, started with the lemon, now on the mandarin also has some yellowing of the leaves. I did a search and had come up with that it was a magnesium deficiency, the soil here must be low. Anyway I have put epsom salts 250g mixed in a bucket of water several times on the lemon, no change and then in winter I used a citrus fertilizer with trace elements on all the citrus. At that time it was only the lemon that had yellow leaves. Start of spring I fertilized them all with Dynamic lifter, so alternating between the citrus fertilizer and dynamic lifter.
I was going to do the epsom salts again, but wanted to know if there was anything else I should do? I had read to apply a hand full of Magnesium Sulphate [Epsom Salts] per square metre under the tree out beyond the drip line. Does this mean no mixed with water?
And then the same thing with some Dolomite. and to pull the mulch back which I had done for the fertilizers.
I haven't used dolomite on them.
Appreciate any advice
I'll post some pics soon.
Meyer Lemon, first pic is of the worst of the leaves on the bottom of the tree
New leaves starting to yellow
Mandarin, not as bad.
