Brown Leaf Tip: Is This A Problem?

16 years ago

My new persimmon tree is greening up beautifully, but I just noticed that several of the new leaves are developing a curly brown tip. Is this a problem, and if so, what can be done about it?

Now that I've FINALLY figured out how to post photos on GardenWeb, I'll probably begin overdoing it. :)

Have you fertilized recently? Almost looks like a fert burn.

By "fert burn", do you mean where fertilizer actually contacted the leaf? If so, then the answer is no. I haven't used any fertilizer near that tree yet.

Brute,

No I meant when people apply to much fertilizer to a plant, it tends to burn the tip and margins of the leaves. You have not applied fertilizer so that can't be the cause.
