achachairu - new leaves blanched

[SocalKoop]

The new growth on my achachairu is very pale. Is this normal or a sign of nutrition deficiency or too much sun?

I think that's normal. The young leaves are like that and will darken upup as they mature. My tree is the same way.

Yeah mine does the same. Usually a little while and they turn dark green.

Thanks guys, I guess I never really noticed that before. Glad to know I can keep things status quo.

Hi. My opinion is that achachairu even though having very light colouring on new growth, yours seem much too white instead of light pinkish bronze colour.

When mine were in the shade they had the nice pinky colour but in the full sun they stay very pale but they don't have any green veins in leaf or look sickly at all they just gradually turn dark green.
