Fruit trees - Feb Autumn Sydney ? (forum)

Farouk starts with ...
Hi Tropical Fruit tree growers,

I need your help ! Please

I have a few fruit trees the ones in concern atm are Pomegranets, Peaches, Persimmons, figs, jackfruit (in pot). Jaboticaba (in ground & pot both affected), mango in ground (inpot is perfect fine), bananas, Papaya trees + other trees alike.

I am growing these trees for several years at 2165 Fairfield East in back/frontyard at the begining of the season these trees kick off excellant new stem growth, beautiful glow and leaf, flower & fruit growth, then about this time of year or bout few weeks ago my trees start loosing all their leaves on the floor just like autumn.. :(
It is very sad, other trees are doing just fine like my Ice Cream bean, Macadamia, 1 of my mango trees in pot (other 2 in ground same issue as other trees loosing leaves fruits etc)

Please help! Thank you

Sounds like a soil problem . Take soil from around affected trees, place in pot and try growing something easy like tomatoes or beans . See if they are affected . If so then need to have soil tested which ain't cheap.

Has it been very dry? trees that have the ability to do so will and do go dormant as soon as the water runs out.

We have not had enough rain in Sydney to sustain good growth without watering, especially for new trees. Even though I water, I noticed that after a recent wet week all the trees responded with fresh leaves. That's the difference between rain and watering.
