Reasons
Boron deficiency on shoots

Symptoms
A lack of boron results in gum pockets forming in the fruit albedo and flesh, near the rind. Fruit is small and hard with gum like spots appering on the skin.

Reasons
Boron deficiency. Citrus is sensitive to boron. Poor boron supply reduces calcium uptake and therefore can induce a breakdown of the albedo and promote post-harvest rot.
