    Morning all,

    My calamondin orange has been struggling with a nitrogen deficiency for about 9 months now (only found out it was nitrogen deficiency three days ago thanks to this forum). Blood meal will increase the nitrogen, but it takes quite a while to break down & enter the system, maybe never in a pot. Can't find citrus fertilzer anywhere, but have found an evergreen fertilzer that's 30-10-10. Could this work? I've been using 20-20-20 with small amounts of iron chelate (once a month) for the last while, along with epson salt, but the nitrogen is still too low for a citrus.

    I got the Calamondin as an experiment to see if I could keep a citrus before getting more of them. It's been around for 3 years now, but needs a little help right now.

    Thanks,

    Jim.

    This is the one I use on my trees and they seem to be happy.
