I planted this tree last year about late summer. It was about 6ft tall. I lost all the leaves-they turned yellow and fell off--thought i...Read Moret had died. Spring rolled around this year, we turned on the drip and it started to get green leaves. No kidding! It got branches real fast, and the trunk thickened up. It got to 12 feet tall. We started the tree with the fertilizer we had on hand for all of our other plants and trees. 'Arizona's Best' general type. Than it started getting yellow leaves again in the summer time-I asked a garden shop what was wrong-he said-its a thick leaf tree and they probably aren't getting enough sunlight. I thought what? The tree is out in the front yard, nothing blocking the sunlight. So I cut back on the watering. Thinking I was over watering. Than I read, it may need acid and iron: so I added vinegar to the water pail and sprinkled iron and still used the fertilizer. But it still continued to get yellow leaves. Its fall now, and it has lots of green leaves, but thru the center of the tree, the leaves are yellow. Don't have any clue whats wrong with the tree. Does anyone know why this is happening?

planted first one this spring; leafing out well and producing seeds already; even the cutter flies are not bothering this one.
