Post #5740136

I have four dwarf citrus, all planted on a west-facing slope and watered via drip. They have been in the ground since Feb 2007 and have produced no fruit (that's issue #1). Also, for the second year the leaves are brittle and point toward the sky (that's issue #2). As you can see, I am getting yellow veining now, and someone (probably a grasshopper or five) is eating happily. So -- what can I do to make these sad plants happy? I'd love to have some fruit this year or DH may chop them all up for firewood. (BTW -- I have 2 Meyer Lemon, a Satsuma Mandarin, and a lime and they all look more or less the same.)
Thanks for your expertise!
Stephanie
