This spring, all of my in ground Citrus are looking rather pale. I'm not really good at identifying deficiencies, but they all look about the same. Just kinda lime green instead of that deep healthy green.

They are all in the part of my yard that receives the most sun. Maybe too much Texas sun? Also it rained a lot the past few months, as I'm sure you all know, if that has any effect. I've gotten a little behind on my fertilizing, too. Which is probably the culprit. Last summer I over fertilized and caused a few to get salt burn, so I've been a little gun shy since then.

Here are pictures from 4 different plants.

Yes, and new growth is light green & will darken up as long as it receives ample fertilizer...

Yeah, sorry, I kinda knew these things, but I needed reassurance, that article about HLB showing up in Los Angeles scared me. Embarassed
