RE: lemon tree discolored fruit Posted 130 days ago It's a funghal problem Greg, possibly phytophora, nmeeds spraying with a copper based spray and the soil around it. Then feed the drip line with sulphate of potash and prune. Take out weak and ingrowing branches and twigs and any that are within a metre of the ground. The link will give you colour pics to identify the problem with certainty. |
