Forum: Yellowing Plants

Peter starts with ... The coffee plants I got from Daleys and most of the fruit trees also have gone quite yellow. Is this seasonal or something in the soil? Something else? What is the cure to bring them back to the deep green they should be?	About the Author Peter Tallebudgera, QLD 28th June 2009 2:34pm #UserID: 2504 View All Peter's Edible Fruit Trees

Jason says... My Lemon tree has done the same, leaves started to go yellow then drop off. A lot of new growth is coming through but is this seasonal that the leaves will yellow?	About the Author Jason Perth 28th June 2009 6:24pm #UserID: 2491 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees

HappyEarth says... Winter has arrived my friends. A lot of trees will yellow up and lose some of their older leaves at this time of year. Healthy new growth is always a good sign :) Rich www.happyearth.com.au	About the Author HappyEarth Wollongong 28th June 2009 6:38pm #UserID: 0

amanda says... Hi Jason - citrus get the 'winter yellows' - it's cause is thought to be due to difficulty drawing nutrients from cold wet soil - try a foliar seaweed spray instead.	About the Author amanda geraldton.WA 28th June 2009 6:53pm #UserID: 2309 View All amanda's Edible Fruit Trees

au0rey says... My calamondin and kaffir lime plants are not really yellowing but fruits are dropping for the former. Does Amanda have a clue? http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/calamondin-fruits-falling-off/ Thanks!	About the Author au0rey Melbourne 28th June 2009 8:44pm #UserID: 0

amanda says... Hi Au0rey - I think Jimmy posted a link somewhere - to wa ag dept site that discusses this? R u there Jimmy? In cold wet weather citrus can develop Zinc chlorosis. (Plants may also need more potassium in frost conditions to prevent cells freezing - all very complicated stuff!?) I have to remove my citrus fruits (too many for my 2 n 3yr olds)..so I'm not much help here!
