Should have known better....what's this brown stuff?

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

Several days ago I said all my citrus were looking good. Mistake! Found these leaves on the floor and a few others at the top of the little tree looking like they will head the same way. Absolutely no trace of spider mites. The tree is about 18-24 mos old and I've owned it about 5 mos. From Four Winds.

Any thoughts about what might be going on?

Looks like a fungus; treat it with a fungicide.

Thanks John. Think that's it. More exactly looks like it's citrus anthracnose. The link UC Davis IPM: Identifying Diseases & Disorders of Citrus Leaves and Twigs Argghhhhh! I'd posted earlier this week of my concern that my citrus were not drying out as quickly as the plumeria I'm growing alongside, and staying wet for 2 weeks. There are some brown twigs on the tree too. So this now is the result I think. :-(

I'll repot, treat and isolate quick and hope it's not affected the others.
