Brown Leaves on Meyer Lemon
Comments (44)Would love your input on 1. leaf miner, 2. Leaf cupping and/or curling and 3. leaf burn problems I'm facing. Have gone thru your great video on addressing leaf miner issues. Want to be sure it's leaf miner alone or if these three issues need different solutions. I purchased an owari satsuma dwarf mandarin plant a few weeks ago, have it in a pot and looks like I have a heavy leaf miner infestation. In addition there seems to be tip browning and curling. I live in the Bay Area. Have started a cycle of spinosad every two weeks, alternating with neem oil on the off weeks. Been about 3 weeks and the curling only seems to be getting worse. Plant is south facing with full sun. Have posted pics at Pinterest: https://pin.it/t4X73-W if you could take a look and provide any inputs on what else I should doing will be very much appreciated. I did top the soil with a little bit of chicken manure and the browning *may* have followed that. At the same link, have also pics of a couple little banana trees that also seem to be suffering from leaf burn. Wondering if the cause is that I didn't sufficiently acclimatize the banana plants in shade after getting it via mail from the nursery. They are potted and placed south facing in full sun. This is my very first time trying to grow fruit trees (or any trees for that matter) - Thank you for lending a helping hand to aspiring backyard gardeners...See MoreLemon Boys Leaves turning Yellow
Comments (2)It's difficult to diagnose dieseases without photos. It's actually pretty difficult to diagnose even with photos. But what you're describing doesn't sound like Late Blight, which is usaully much faster acting, and turns leaving brown not predominantly yellow. i find about this time of year, all my plants start suffering in the way you describe to some extent. I just trim the disease leaves. Whatever you have may be slowly killing the plant, but it's going to die anyway in the next couple of months....See Morepotted Meyer lemon tree leaves turning dark green with brown spots
Comments (3)Sorry, this photo was immediately following watering. I usually keep it drier. Good point regarding poor drainage, though, since I am a complete novice. The pot has holes on the bottom, and I set the pot on several bottle caps to raise the pot above the ground and allow those holes to function (theoretically). Do the photos look consistent with either root rot or excessive fertilizer? Thank you for chiming in!...See More1 yr old lemon tree brown leaves
Comments (9)Were the leaves like that before you sprayed for bugs? It looks like it might be salt damage. Do you let the water run out the bottom when you water? That pot looks way too big for your tree. It should probably be in a 10 inch pot. A too big pot can lead to root rot. Repot the tree into 5-1-1 mix. Dunk the roots in and out of water to remove the old soil. You may have to use a garden hoes to force the old soil off. My version of Al Tapla's 5-1-1 Mix · 5 parts pine bark mulch (remove ½” pieces through 1/2 inch screen) (Some people use Repti Bark instead of mulch. This does not require screening but may require more frequent watering.) · 1 part sphagnum peat · 1 part perlite (coarse, if you can get it) · 1 Tb/gal 5-1-1 mix garden lime (measure the 5-1-1 mix) · Controlled release fertilizer (optional) · Moisten well and wait at least 2 days before using...See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
