Hi
About a week or two ago I posted a thread regarding what I thought at the time was a form of fungal infection or pest on my Chinese elm, and a few kind people replied, with the majority of them deeming it to be a nutrient deficiency (mainly N). Initially this seemed like a reasonable explanation, and a week after fertilizing with liquid feed I actually thought the problem had gone away. However it just started spreading again.
What has got me confused is the seemingly instantaneous development of small yellow/transparent spots (developing over night basically) on both old and new leaves, and im wondering if a nutrient deficiency can really manifest itself so quickly? The lack of pigmentation is furthermore followed by a deformation of some of the new growths, I've had leaves grow in a curl shape for example, which was not the case before this issue arose.
Ive linked an image of a new leaf held towards the sun to show the lack of pigmentation in these spots. Does anyone recognise this issue, and could it really just be a nutrient deficiency?
Thanks in advance
