Avocado problems - dieback of branches and portion of trunk.
« on: March 06, 2015, 03:11:14 PM »
I've got two avocados that have been sickly and difficult for a little while despite getting the same treatment as my other thriving avocados. The first one a Winter Mexican has dropped leaves, generally had very yellow leaves, and has had a bunch of branches turn black and die back. I've given it nitrogen in the form of diluted urine here and there to see if it would perk up, and done a few micronutrient foliar sprays and not much has changed. It has some little spurts of new growth popping out now, but I'm wondering if it might be better to pull it.





The other one is a Brogdon that was doing great, fruited a little last year at around 7' tall, and after it set fruit big parts of the trunk turned black in big oval shaped patterns and died back. It's putting a bunch of new growth now for the first time since November. Any ideas what might have caused this?
