Re: iron deficiency ? -Reply

Yellowing and dropping of older leaves is normal, but dropping of this
season's leaves now is not. Most likely underwatering is the cause.
Nutritional causes include Niitrogen or Molybdenum deficiencies - both
unlikely assuming reasonably good culture. Zinc, Iron and Manganese do cause
yellowing between the veins of younger leaves.
