this thing wont let me upload pic i got them from a market about 6 weeks ago 1 lemon 1 cumquat i repotted them into bigger pots as i dont want them in the ground as yet they are both slowly going yellow in the leaves is it lack of fertilizer if so what should i give them my first time growing this type of tree i water them in the mornings
Answer: Hi Julian, This is a VERY healthy citrus tree. Everyone memorise this as it is a classic case of nitrogen deficiency – note the yellowish green colour of the new growth. All that you need to do is to fertilise this tree with some citrus food right away and this will be the best citrus tree in Melbourne. Well done, Don
