| These 3 bright orange, cylindrical fungus (fungii?) have been growing out of my large citrus for at least a year. I knock them off, then they slowly grow back. The tree was very healthy and covered in lemons 2 years ago; last year was less bountiful, and this year it is really sick, with leaves dropping off, fruit not setting, remaining leaves yellowing. I have fed it iron chelate, liquid fertiliser, manure, diluted wee on it, and it IS picking up; I am going to do a hard prune for Winter, but feel like i need to get rid of this fungus too, and no one I've asked has any idea! I'm not sure how to attach a photo though...
Thanks heaps! |

| It sounds like a bracket fungus, it will be secondary and living on the dead wood from inside the trunk. It sounds like you may be able to rescue your tree from its problems with your new nutrition regime. If there is a disease around the collar, you could try painting a strong bordeaux mix around the dead area. Otherwise a new lemon tree will grow so quickly under your new regime you wont miss many lemons |
