Please help me understand what my Mango leaves are telling me.

I have a Mango tree in my yard. Not sure how old it is, but the trunk is about 8-9" in in diameter. A lot of the leaves are showing yellow on the outer edges.  Thank you for your thoughts.

I've not seen leaves like that before, but the quick guide indicates potassium deficiency.

Usually when planted close to cement though you see micronutrient deficiencies, but I'm not seeing the obvious ones.

Interesting, does the cement statement apply only to mango ,or is it a general accurance with plants? I quess that acid loving species would be more sensitive?

That's right, it's due to the high pH from the slightly soluble concrete. If the roots don't grow in that direction, it tends to be a non-issue however.

Thanks Orkine. I’ll put this over there. 👍
