Temperate Fruit Discussion / What's wrong with my fig tree?
« on: April 27, 2015, 12:59:48 PM »
My fig tree lost its leaves and hasn't grown them back yet. The ends of the branches (the buds) are brown and not green. However, the branches are not brittle and are a tad flexible.

It was replanted after this browning/de-leafing occurred into it's current container (has drainage), with organic potting mix and a tiny bit of organic fertilizer. When I replanted it, I don't know what nematodes on the roots would look like, but the root ball looked okay and the roots themselves normal.

It receives direct west exposure on our balcony for a few hours.

Why won't it come back? Suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased this beautiful fruiting barbie guava tree a couple of days ago. Within 24 hours of me transporting it to our balcony in Miami, the leaves started wilting and have this "becoming dry" feel.

I just repotted it into our new planter (48 hours after purchasing the tree) with organic soil and organic citrus fertilizer, but it still looks like it's wilting. Here are the ingredients:

-Nature's care potting mix

-Espoma Organic Citrus fertilizer (the ziplock bag one)

-White steel 14" square planter

We tried to grow a guava tree once before and it was totally brown within a week of purchasing it from an agricultural show in Ft. Lauderdale.

Is there something special I need to know about growing guava trees?
