Replying to Chris Mauchline' Kiwi problems:

   The classic symptom of potassium deficiency is browning/drying around the
edges of leaves.  Left unchecked, leaves will turn yellow, wither and fall
off.  If you are having a drought, it is logical that potassium would become
unavailable.  More than likely, your leaves are exhibiting symptoms of
several nutrients going out of solution.
