Fabian86 starts with ... Hi everyone, just seeing if anyone can shed some light on this issue I’m having with my newly planted black mulberry tree from Daley’s. On arrival the tree had white spots on them. The plant has been in the ground now for about 4 weeks and the plant has dropped a few leaves after they turned yellow and eventually dead brown. Just wanting to know What this might be? Is it normal for a newly planted tree? Is it a fungal issue? Is it the soil? I love my tree and don’t want to see it die!!! Any help is much appreciated Thanks 😊

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Fabian; With regards to your newly planted black mulberry tree. I think its just a normal reaction from the sudden change of environment from your tree. Once the tree is adjusted it will put up new growth according to its new home. Two months ago me and my fruit tree buddy drive more than a thousand K to Kyogle just to see where our plants come from and how they are grown to get a better understanding how to protect them from the environment. Over there they are cozied up in the green house where the temperature and humidity is almost constant. No harsh sunlight no harsh cold or hot and dry wind etc, zero frost, no sudden big fluctuation in temperature. They are in greenland paradise. Once they ship the plants to us the poor things reacts to the sudden change of ambiance. their first reaction is to shed some older leaves because they already out of their comfort zone where everything is controlled.They cannot keep up with the lush and accelerated growth that they are used to. They are like us when there is sudden huge change of climate a lot of humans got sick. But once we got used to the weather we acclimatize and move on. So don't stress over a few shedding leaves. Once they acclimatize to your zone they will grow unabated and maybe your next question in the future is how to curb their excessive growth and how to curtail their invasive roots. At the moment continue giving them food, shelter and plenty of drinks specially this coming summer months. Happy gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 3rd November 2017 7:53pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... Your photos show a very healthy tree. Leaves dont last forever and the oldest ones do die. They will fall off and shrivel up. Meanwhile the plant grows and produces increasing amounts of new leaves which will all eventually die and still more new ones grow. Almost certainly any spots or yellowing etc on old leaves is perfectly normal. You could start to be concerned if an excessive proportion of leaves were being affected but your photos show a healthy tree. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 4th November 2017 11:32am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
