The signs of citrus rust mite are showing up now although the damage occurred a few months ago. Citrus rust mites are tiny. As they feed on the rind of citrus their raspy mouth parts damage the outside of the fruit causing it to be discolored. The good news is that the fruit is fine to eat. Unfortunately the time to treat citrus rust mite is in the early summer. Softer pesticides like horticultural oils, and insecticidal soaps work well. These products can scorch the leaves when used during the heat of the day so make sure you read and follow label directions when mixing and applying pesticides.

Unless you have fruit trees, or palms that need more nutrients to produce abundantly, the answer is generally No. Most established trees do not need any additional nutrition. The key to this is to plant the right tree in the right place. If your tree is not growing properly, don't immediately think about adding fertilizer. There are all sorts of other reasons for poor tree growth. Check for disease, circling roots, planting depth, mulch volcano's and the soil pH. Sometimes adding fertilizer can make things worse by forcing the tree to put energy into growing foilage when it needs to be conserving energy to fight off disease. Yellowing leaves can indicate an iron deficiency caused when the soil pH is too high. Usually adjusting the pH fixes the problem.

The best time to plant a tree is when the weather gets cooler, which reduces stress on the tree as it establishes its root system. Plant the rootball an inch or two above the soil surface and cut any circling roots before planting.

Squirrels cause this by breaking off small twigs to access seeds, dropping many more than they eat. This behavior is common in trees like lacebark elm, oaks, and cedars during seed season.

This is caused by citrus rust mites feeding on the rind, creating discoloration. The fruit is safe to eat. Treatment is best applied in early summer using horticultural oils or insecticidal soaps, avoiding heat of day for application.

Most established trees do not require fertilization unless they are fruit trees or palms needing extra nutrients. Instead, ensure the tree is planted correctly and check for other issues like disease or soil pH imbalances.
