Mango Tree dropped all leaves
Comments (1)Depends on what caused defoliation. Total defoliation usually a sign of severe problems when tree is evergreen type....See MoreWhy are mango tree leaves yellowing and dropping? (w/ pics)
Comments (8)I agree with the two posters...I think the ones you're losing are the mature leaves, these do yellow and drop as they are replaced by new growths. Mine does the same thing usually when I have a growth flush. New leaves will harden off and darken in a few weeks. If it were my tree, I would taper off on the watering to every 3-4 days now...for about a week or two unless you get rain. By appx. 3 months I would water once every 5 days or so till you're tree gets a little more established(usually around 6 months) Nothing beats rain water to get those nice growth flushes...so much better than hose water. I would wait till its at least 6 weeks then I would "very" lightly fertilize. Either some Milorganite(or slow release) or Fish emulsion diluted. Mango trees are susceptible to fertilizer burn(leaves and roots) if given too much or too strong of a fertilizer...so add half of the recommended dosage. Don't put the granular fertilizer near the trunk...place it on the drip line...Don't fertilize after the end of October once the weather starts to cool off...hopefully by Dec or Jan. you might get some blooms? Just my advise... Good luck! Your tree looks nice and healthy!...See Morewhy are my potted mango leaves falling?
Comments (3)Not enough light, too much heat, and possibly water issues. MH lights put out about 30% of the spectrum that plants use for photosynthesis and the rest you still pay for on your electric bill. I recommend one or two of the standard 8-bulb T5 fluorescent fixtures that has the HO or VHO bulbs in the "daylight" (6500 Kelvin) series....See MoreWhy is my tree dropping leaves?
Comments (0)Environmental conditions can cause leaf drop. Usually heavy drop occurs if trees are over or under watered, over fertilized, root damage or frost. Early leaf drop may also be a warning sign that a tree is dying....See MoreHU-484845831
