Brain says... I would not be too concerned, unless your navel is shedding leaves and die back on a massive scale. I am guessing your tree is in overall good health, so it means its using a bit of its reserves. a bit of dilute worm tea would help it to catch up. The only thing i could think of is the navel will flower and will hold less fruit if its really nutrient deficient. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 5th November 2014 10:17pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie 1 says... Thanks guys. There are several trees, which are in reasonably good health. We have had enough rain in Perth to delay watering so far, but it won't be long - up in the low 30's next week. As they are mature trees, the ground underneath is not exposed to sunlight, and they have been planted fairly close together (not by me),so not a lot of evaporation from the ground. But I sometimes wonder if it's all worth while, as I lose at least 70% to parrots anyway. Now the possums have discovered them - it seems I can't win! | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 6th November 2014 12:48am #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
