Custard Apple (forum)

Jason starts with ...
I purchased a custard apple (African Pride) about 3 weeks ago. I have planted the tree in its final location.

All the leaves have become yellow and are drying. Some have dropped. Is this normal for this tree? Is there any chance that this tree will survive?

I planted this at the same time as some other trees, all the rest are doing fine. These have been planted following the procedures outlined in the Daley's video.

Should i order another one to replace it?
Has anyone else experienced ths problem?
Jason

i also have 2 custard apples and both of them have a few yellow leaves. it must be heat stress as they were fine before we had a heatwave in adelaide as it got into the fortys for a few days in a row.

You are both right. The tree dropped all the leaves. The buds have started growing after the rain.

Thanks
