I think the problem is your water source. Is your water source from a well?

Agree with Millet! If you use tap water, you might consider acidifying it. Citrus trees cannot take up nutrients if the soil is too alkaline, therefore the tree shows severe signs of all kinds of deficiencies, mostly iron deficiency aka chlorosis...

In spring the plant are planted, but only halfway back to greening. Acidic soil but iron deficiency has been. Sour water is given. Nutrient solution. Iron fertilizer as well. But I usually watered with tap water and sometimes acidic.
Other citrus have no trouble. _________________ https://picasaweb.google.com/107150318774510322151

All your trees have the same problem. Most probably high pH with the water your using.. - Millet (101- BO-) |

Most methods of softening water is with the use of salt. Salt is bad for citrus. You can lower the pH with acid. Sulfuric acid is the common acid used WITH CAUTION. - Millet |
