madieRose4167 starts with ... I recently bought a Nebal avocado tree from my local nursery. The leaves have started to turn brown and I am not sure why. I thought it was too much sun, so I put a net to prevent the tree from receiving too much sunlight. I’m not sure that was correct, please help.

Marmot1 says... That's because of too much sunshine, you'd better to put a flowerpot or more in front of it. I grow radishes and snow peas in those pots, avocado trees look okay. Oh, you are in United States, I was wondering why someone needs to worry about sunshine in Down-Under. Wear masks, you are in California. | About the Author Marmot1 QUAKERS HILL,2763,NSW 21st July 2020 11:25am #UserID: 20667 Posts: 102 View All Marmot1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Hot sun. you need to cover with shade cloth and keep the soil moist but not wet 3. leaf burn due to excessive fertilizer applications. 4. dry wind and cold You need to check it out the above suggestion to find out the cause.

Jadelink says... David gives an excellent summary of the possible causes. Given you seem to have the plant sun covered, you should see the burn stop, if that's the cause. Fertiliser burn usually looks blacker than that, but it could be happening. Given that you're in CA, I would suspect the hot dry winds and super low humidity and dry heat are hurting it. Make sure it is well mulched and gets watered daily, but moderately (avocados hate too much water as much as they hate too little). | About the Author Jadelink BRUNSWICK,3056,VIC 26th August 2020 10:01pm #UserID: 21856 Posts: 19 View All Jadelink's Edible Fruit Trees |
