Why does your Citrus maxima have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient in citrus; when lacking, the plant moves it from older leaves to new growth, causing uniform yellowing (chlorosis) of mature leaves first.
Excessive soil moisture in Pomelo trees leads to anaerobic conditions, causing root hypoxia and preventing the uptake of essential minerals, resulting in yellowing leaves.
Common in alkaline soils, iron deficiency prevents chlorophyll production, specifically causing bright yellow leaves with distinct dark green veins (interveinal chlorosis).
Larvae tunneling through the leaves cause physical stress and localized tissue death, which can lead to secondary yellowing and leaf drop in young Pomelo shoots.
