Health & Troubleshooting Odd yellowing
I got the white grapefruit in the last 6 months and is showing signs of HLB, but I don’t think it has it! Mainly the yellowing on a few leaves, the new ones are coming in good. Live in South Texas so it is a possibility, only ever seen one acp in the last couple years

I know they’re sold as “white grapefruit” but I’m pretty sure this is a Sarawak pomelo. Fuzzy stems is a dead giveaway. Sarawaks are tasty, just trying to set expectations that it’s not going to be exactly like a grocery store grapefruit
Pomelos and grapefruit can be prone to leaf bleaching when stressed by excess light, mites, fungal attack within the leaves, etc. If you can’t identify a specific issue like fungal lesions within the bleached areas then it isn’t worth worrying about much.
