Sick Lemon Tree

5 responses

rinne starts with ... I have a lemon tree that seems to look very sick. The leaves on the tree are yellow in colour. We thought it might be because not enough fertilizer, but after putting it every fortnight for a month, there's still no changes. Can you help?

Jeanie says... Maybe it has gall wasp, though I don't know if you'd get that down in Melbourne. Check all thick branches for lumps with a little hole in them. If you find any prune them out and take them away.	About the Author jeanie murwillumbah nsw 6th February 2009 2:39pm #UserID: 1959 Posts: 8 View All jeanie's Edible Fruit Trees

Jeanie says... The lumps are the give-away and the little entry hole confirms it. Had them in my grapefruit last year.	About the Author jeanie murwillumbah nsw 6th February 2009 2:53pm #UserID: 1959 Posts: 8 View All jeanie's Edible Fruit Trees
