Jackfruit die back (forum)

PouteriaLover starts with ...
Would love some thoughts about what is causing this tip die-back on my grafted &quote;Galaxy&quote; Jackfruit please..?
I am in a marginal southern climate - with a cold wet winter.....but it's worse this year than last - and the winter last year was a record breaker for cold and wet....
Is it fungal and can Jackfruit take a copper spray...?
It doesn't seem to like being sprayed with things I suspect...either the bore water - or the iron chelates - so far..?

Also foliar sprays of Seasol can help. Can take up to six weeks to be effective.
