Inahdi starts with ... Hi everyone, it's been so long since I've been here because I've gotten lazy and discouraged. I have a spot in my garden where everything we grow dies - in particular, three citrus trees in the past year. We have citrus trees growing brilliantly in other parts of the garden, so we are starting to worry this particular bed is cursed. The leaves turn yellow and drop, and the tree eventually dies - quickly. I have taken cuttings to two nurseries in Perth, one who thought the problem was overwatering and rot, and another who thought the problem was soil ph limiting the uptake of nutrients. We have tried the treatment for both, and the plants we put in keep dying. So my questions are! - 1) Any ideas what else might cause the trees to die like this? FYI the soil ph is quite high, but it is similar in other parts of the garden where citrus is growing well. 2) Any recommendations for places I can get my soil tested in Perth? One place I tried doesn't do "home garden" scale testing and another was prohibitively expensive ($500). Thanks in advance for your thoughts! | About the Author 3 29th January 2013 1:30pm #UserID: 2533 Posts: 54 View All 3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Could you be planting them over any roots of big trees (may be some distance away)? That has happened to me and I've been forced to replant elsewhere. On the other hand I had a garden once with a spot about a metre x a metre where everything I planted died and there were no trees anywhere near it. Never found out why. | About the Author Jantina Mt Gambier 24th February 2013 4:26pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |
