I thank you for the information. I am just not sure that this is the case with my trees. The leaves that are turning yellow have dirty brown/black specs all over the bottom of the leaves. That is why I was pretty sure that it was spider mites. The mistake that I made was not spraying or getting rid of the baby tears that I had used on several of the plants for ground cover. The trees may have gotten rid of the mites, but then they lived on in the baby tears. Perhaps defoliating the Fukien Tea and isolation, plus spraying all of the trees again will help. How long do you think it will take for the Fukien to start growing any leaves again. I am going to cut back on the water until I start to see some leaves.
