Ive read the deficiency pages on Mr. Texas's website and Flying Dragon nursery- not sure what is going on. My new Meyer leaves are huge, and a bit rubbery looking. Not exactly the definition from Mr. Texas for Cu deficiency, but closer to the FDNursery definition.

Some older leaves are yellow and curling (did that this winter when it needed flushed- perked right up. but weve had several hard rains recently)

I just gave them some organic fert, ive got at least 2 more good months outdoors for them all here.


the new leaves are on the left, in my hand.

They look fine. Meyer lemon leaves can get quite a bit larger than that...

Laaz, is correct. ALL CITRUS can get really big leaves on the NEW GROWTH. There is nothing wrong with the tree, in fact it looks quite healthy. - Millet

Thanks so much to the both of you!

The first growth spurt had the same size, small leaves on it.

It has 2 or 3 blossoms on the other branch. It was only about a 9 month wait for the first blooms!
