John Baker starts with ... have a new all-in-one almond planted in spring that has dying leaves. About a quarter of the leaves are dying (brown) and curling. Some others are holed or unshapely. New growth is, however, coming through. Help!? Is it root disease/fungus? Soil problems? Salt? Wind burn? Insects? I have a apricot planted at same time doing well.

Santi says... Maybe you have shot hole and others diseases(leaf blight???). it would be advisable to treat with fungicides like Captán, Myclobutanil, Ziram,....

John says... Hay its an ALMOND TREE. It loses the leaves on a yearly basis. It has no disease. If you uses those chemicals, then pull it out and start again. If that apircot of yours is one of these small fruit types then that should have lost most of its leaves as well. If not your over watering and feeding it to much. If its a stilton type apricot, large fruit, these keep there leaves. | About the Author John10 SB South Australia 11th February 2008 7:35pm #UserID: 549 Posts: 127 View All John10's Edible Fruit Trees |

John says... Thanks for all the help on this one. Very grateful. For more info... 1. Only a quarter of the leaves are dying. 2. All the rest of the tree is doing fine. 3. Watered a lot after planting but only weekly since December - a good soak. 5. Soil had some good organic compost in it but not too much and well mixed. 6. Apricot, fig and mulberry planted nearby in same soil at same time are going great. 7. I bought the plant from Bunnings (i think the original source was Daleys) and strangely the symptoms occured almost immediately. From web research, if i was to spray it should be done when blooming so i dont have to decide just yet. | About the Author Adelaide 18th February 2008 11:23am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
