Plant City, FLQ.Variegated Pink Lemon Loosing Leaves
I have a small variegated pink lemon tree that\'s loosing it\'s leaves. It was in the ground and I transplanted it into a container. Used Miracle Grow for citrus. It hasn\'t had many leaves since I\'ve owned it. I don\'t see any bugs on it.

Certified ExpertA.This is to be expected with amount of stress that the tree has endured. However, in order for the issue to resolve, it will need to stay in one spot so that the roots have time to rebuild. Unfortunately, until roots are repaired enough to continue growth, the stalled nature of the tree will be expected.
Be sure to allow time for the soil to dry between waterings, and test before feeding. Most potting soils contain enough nutrients to sustain plants and trees for quite some time. Overfeeding and overwatering can lead to these problems.

October 7, 2023Q.Red Sunset Maple Trees
How to get rid of black tar fungus on one side and very tiny black specks that get sticky on the underneath side of the leaves. I have trimmed off all of the leaves with the fungi that I find and check every day for more. 2 of the 4, 6-7 ft trees are now leafless the other 2 about 2/3 to 1/2still there. HELP what can I do to save them?

Certified ExpertA.It may be aphid insects and the black looking fungus could be sooty mold. The mold is caused by the sticky honeydew excreted by the insects. These articles should help:
