New growth on mango tips turning brown
Comments (5)I tend to agree with Harry...most likely lack of water along with your intense desert heat. New growths are more sensitive to the intense heat...try giving the pot some shade during the hottest part of the day if you can. I doubt its the fish emulsion or the gypsum(I use it on all my gritty mix) and never had issues with what you show from it. The 100+ degrees you guys are experiencing now is "likely" the culprit on those tender new growths. Good luck!...See MoreMango New Growths in Dec .? (Pics)
Comments (10)Thanks so much everyone... Bluepalm, actually I have two glenn trees, one is potted, but this isn't that one. The potted one is not growing nearly as fast as this one, understandably so. Ohio Jay, I bought it from a local nursery here in town, I think I paid $30 for it. Here's a picture of what it looked like when I planted it in March. Picture of the same tree Planted March, 07...See MoreNewly planted trees -- new shoot growth dying
Comments (9)Sounds like you hit the important points :-) Maybe just a bit of transplant shock, which it should outgrow rapidly. As long as you are sure drainage is good in this area - not good to have tree sitting around in heavily saturated soils. Couple of things to consider for next tree planting.........site the tree in the planting hole with wrappings intact then remove them once tree is situated as you wish. This avoids any potential collapsing of the rootball moving it into the planting hole. You always want to remove any string, wire or twine but removing the burlap completely is not essential. Of course you want to remove it from around the trunk and the top of the rootball, but you want to proceed carefully removing from the sides of the rootball as fine feeder roots may be present and penetrating the burlap that can be harmful to the establishment of the tree to just rip away. That is usually not the case so early in the season but fairly common with B&B trees that have been sitting around for awhile. And burlap left under the rootball is no big deal. And it is always important to thoroughly moisten the rootball before planting. Typically, B&B stock is grown in pretty heavy clay and if this is allowed to dry out much before planting, it is virtually impossible to rehydrate properly once in the ground and covered with soil, despite how often you water. Newly planted trees will often fail from lack of water because of this - essentially a soil interface - issue....See MoreDying growth tips on Schefflera plant
Comments (8)Sometimes the best thing to do is consider the problem idiopathic and simply turn to making sure you have the basics covered. You need first, a good soil that offers at least the opportunity for good root health, favorable light levels and temperature range, and a sound nutritional supplementation program. Fortunately for you and your plant, it's the perfect time of year (if you live in the northern hemisphere) to formulate a plan that should turn your plant around and prepare to initiate it. If you get the basics covered and cultural conditions favorable enough that the plant is growing in its 'sweet spot' instead of at the limits of what it was programmed to tolerate, you'll be golden. I'm not offering more because I'm counting on the fact you'll have interest in learning how to provide that sweet spot and will start asking questions. If you're not that interested, I hope you fare well and all your efforts lead to rewards. Al...See Morestanofh 10a Hayward,Ca S.F. bay area
