Pademelon1 says... It would be much easier to identify with a picture, but the likely culprit is too much sun. All three species will grow happily in pots, fairly dark spaces and wet, reasonably fertile soil. I'm growing the NSW variety and the smooth, and i've only ever gotten brown leaves from when they have been burnt. They recover quite quickly though, which is good. If it is not burning causing the browning, IDK. | About the Author Pademelon1 Sydney 15th February 2016 10:05pm #UserID: 11938 Posts: 138 View All Pademelon1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... They may have come from conditions with higher humidity. You could give it slightly more shade and increase sun gradually. Often plants in potting mix will become much stronger when planted into a well conditioned planting site. I would think a small shadecloth structure would help it overcome the leafburn problem and could be taken off after summer or let the plant just grow through it.. You wont fix the burnt patches but the new leaves will adapt. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 22nd December 2017 9:27pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... If you have recently recieved the plants, they may have come from a shadehouse, and now placed at your place under different light and wind conditions. You can acclimatise by placing plants under heavy shade and gradually move out to more sun at a cooler, rainy, overcast etc time. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 26th December 2017 8:43am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
