Help jaboticaba losing foliage.
« on: November 11, 2018, 01:53:53 PM »
My jaboticaba is slowly losing its foliage, and I fear its slowly dying. Cannot tell if the leaf was scorched from the sun or to much salinity in the soil or even if its fertilizer burn. We water the tree 3 times a week.

Jabos like shade and lots of water. Looks like it is getting toasted.

So long as it is watered well, it should recover, though I wouldn't fertilize it for a while.
