Title: Sugar apple - problem with leaves
Post by: tonyma on August 28, 2022, 08:15:31 PM

Anybody knows what's going wrong with my sugar apple? I don't see any insects nearby or on leaves or tree.
Thanks

Whats the story on the tree?
How big?
In the ground?
Recent fertilizer?
Any sprays recently?
It doesn't look like the tree is crashing completely
In another month or two the leaves will start to droop as the
days shorten and the tree goes dormant.

The leaves appear to have a whitish film on them like the tree was sprayed with something.

My first guesses would be fertilizer burn or watering issues (too much or too little water). Doesn't quite look right for anthracnose but I guess that's alwats a possibility.
