Yellow leaves on lemon tree
I
HAVE recently had to lay a concrete slab along one side of my
lemon tree, which is now showing a lot of yellow leaf. I suspect
the new concrete. Is there anything I can do to combat the
problem?
IT could be the cause of the
problem. However, dry conditions will also cause a lot of yellow
leaf. Regular watering is necessary in summer and the concrete may
be stopping water from getting to your tree’s roots.
