Hey guys!
My big namwa (13' pstem) has developed a yellow edge approximately an inch deep along the entire leaf. This yellowing is on all the upper 10-12 leaves. The lower leaves (mid level leaves) have not been effected. My plants are always green so concerned about the change in color.
I thought the yellowing was due to potassium deficiency and applied a 1/3 cup of muriate of potash last week around the base area in addition to the monthly application of complex fertilizer in the normal monthly.
We get a ton of rain and my plants are close to their fruiting height so maybe a deficiency has developed.
If its due to potassium deficiency would I see the yellow leaf edge turn back green or just stabilize and the leaf edge turn brown? Or what?
Thanks for any help!
Here's a photo of what I'm seeing:
