Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lychee problem - please help
« on: August 07, 2017, 06:32:25 PM »I bought this 25 gal sweetheart lychee last summer. It shed all of the leaves around November as the weather changed to cooler temperatures. Shortly it sent out some new shoots and leaves. The new leaves would curl alittle unlike previously flat. Soon the leave would develop brown spots and new growths appeared to be torched. I thought maybe it was getting too cold so I move ithe container next to a south facing wall. It didnt make any difference but kept the tree alive through winter. Spring came and it sent out new growth again. Same issue. I thought it was anthracnose so I sprayed it with copper. Some of the leaves started to grow straight and I thought I got it. Pretty soon all of the new growths appeared burned just like before. Leaves would develop brown spots again. I have trimmed off all dead branches and leaves. Repotted with Pro Mix. I move it under a large tree with nearly 70% shade. It's been a month and I have not see any new growth. What is my issue and how can I save this tree? Thanks
