Hi kloude. Orange trees prefer to grow in an acid soil. Maybe your soil isn't acid enough which is why the leaves may be going yellow and falling. Is there any way you can test your soil with a simple kit from your garden centre?
The tree was fine till two weaks ago,and all the area is full of orange trees.
Has been raining quite a lot this month,could be the reason?
i live in the South of italy so is spring already
Hi Kloude, I agree with Pansey Face it does look like its lacking iron. Can you buy Sequested iron down their You can water that in but also like Pansy face says you can use it as a folier feed. It will take a number of weeks for it to colour up . Citrus are heavy feeders so perhaps feed it once every two weeks with a citrus fertilizer. www.chempack.com do a range in citrus fertilizers. Good luck
Don't let it dry out citrus need water.Two reasons why citrus shed their fruit. Its under stress I.e it can't cope with the amount of fruit it has bear. Another inconsistent watering.
