Getting a hair cut


My grafted Australian finger lime got a hair cut today, a bit of a nip and tuck if you like. I love the weeping shape of this little tree, but it seems to have a bit of a nutrient deficiency (nitrogen?), probably mostly because it lives in a pot, and I neglected to bump up the feeding for it (whoops, my bad). All those yellow leaves were crying out to be clipped off, and tiny new maroon replacement leaves are beginning to appear... Should have tried for a close up! Alas, a broken camera lens denies me the option.
