Look how bushy it has gotten since the last trimming! Really thick foliage and long new growths...
As you can probably see in the pot and marginally in the pictures below there have been a fair few yellow leaves... After researching a bit and testing various scenarios the only real conclusions I could come to are:
a) The tree had a bit of shock from going from a dim garden-centre greenhouse to a windowsill that gets plenty of morning light.
b) The soil in which it is planted is not suited to it and I have been over-watering, even 5 days after last watering a stick in the soil still comes up a bit damp, not good.
The good thing is that it now seems used to the Sun, but I won't be replanting until next spring I don't think, unless the yellowing doesn't stop. Don't want to lose a summers growth unless I have to.
Will need to thin the foliage out a little bit as the leaves near the trunk appear to be yellowing through light-starvation (there are pockets of yellow in the deep shade).
Lets hope the three pronged approach works! Tomorrow I'll post post-trim pics - seems like this will be quite a big one!
