I would like to see a topic section on fertilization for citrus. Depending where you read, there are a variety of "recommendations" on the frequency and strength of fertilizer for young (up to 3-4 ') trees. Some Citrus Expos are recommending monthly applications. How much? of what? (6-6-6, 8-8-8, 19-10-5 ?). What are the results of too much fetilization?
My specific situation is that I have 21 citrus trees in sandy soil (total sun) on the coastline of SC. The pH of the soil ranges from 6.5 - 7.4. Irrigation is via drip. Three trees have fruited early, grew to small marbles, threw them all off, started over and repeated the cycle. The trees in question are Bearss Lime, Harvey Lemon, & Satsuma Tangerine.
I'm not sure I am dealing with a fertilization problem or not.
Any comments would be appreciated.
