Put overhead and western shade over it first leaf if this is on the south or west side. You won't have to bother with overhead shade next leaf as it hardens off, though western shade may be a good idea for the 2nd leaf. Keep in mind as well that with sandy soil you may need to water frequently, using multiple emitters around, or just outside the canopy line but not for long to reach that 3 foot depth. The tips look like salt burn/underwatering. Salt burn would be unusual in sandy soil unless you have been fertilizing. But since it looks like it is on new leaves I am thinking iron deficiency. I am interpreting it from a close up photo without seeing the whole tree or knowing whether it is localized to an area of the tree. I do not know how common iron deficiency is in your area. In my area iron deficiency is almost always due to high pH but in your soil it may actually be lack of iron. Either way initial treatment is with chelated iron (preferably Fe-EDDHA). If high pH is the cause then adding soil sulfur and building up the organic content of the soil over time with a surface mulch is the cure.

I suppose it depends on where you live and what you consider "tropical".

I actually love fabric and there is so much vsriety to the different potato bags - I can sew up the bag in a minute - ten seconds and I have never times how long it takes to put it together to get ready to sew... I usually do at least 50 - 75 at a time so it is hard to figure... I love doing this!~ as soon as I csn, I hsve to start sewing neck coolers - I need to make 3,000 - 3,500 before the fair starts...

Beautiful photos and beautiful places! Mushrooms (well, I suppose "fungus" is more accurate, but you know what I mean):
