Hey all. I have a Brandy Boy and a Persimmon plant in the same container. The Brandy Boy has put out more tomatoes than the Persimmon The Brandy Boy also has decent looking leaves. They are in the back container in the picture. My problem is the leaves on the Persimmon have had burnt edeges all season. Old leaves and new. The Arkansas Travelers are in the front container in the same mix. They look OK and are producing.

I used new Metro Mix 500 as my soil and added time release fert with micros at planting. I used the CRF at about 75% the reccommended rate. I supplement with Miracle Grow about once every week and a half at half strength. I water everyday with city water until water comes out the bottom. It is hot here 72/90 so I do not think this is too much water. They wilt if I try to skip a day.

I remember my Persimmon looking similar last year. Are they particularly sensitive to anything? I have read about K deficiencies being caused by anerobic conditions causing this, but I'm not sure.

Does anybody have experience with Persimmons with or without this problem?

Thanks
