    are you suggesting that one single tree has all these problems...

    or is this an assignment of some kind ...

    the fruit forum peeps might help ...

    Here is a link that might be useful: 6th link looks interesting ... but citrus ...

    If in a container, that's likely the problem. If so, when was it last repotted?

    Need image of entire tree.

    Hi,

    I am an agronomy student but this is just my personal interest to learn identify deficiencies. The leaves are from an organic orchard and they are coming from different trees-varieties.

    I am very keen on try to learn separating the symptoms, that's why I collect them

    Thanks

    Diagnosing with only a leaf or two from a tree is difficult if not impossible.
    Then hiding the fact that the leaves are from multiple trees is, well, not nice. Not the way a budding diagnostician functions.

    The first image could be pesticide/herbicide damage. If iron deficiency, would be on new leaves.

    The one labeled "? potassium" could simply be a typical late season leaf showing a bit of chronic drought stress -- the dry brown edges.

    The "and this?" -- could be normal for this time of year.

    As could be the leaf labeled "magnesium."
