| My mango tree is sick! It is about 10 years old and about 6 metres high. It had a mass of flowers about 1 month ago but now all the leaves are turning brown and falling off. What could be happening? What can I do to save it? |

Hi Jascko, sounds like it may have wet feet (to much water) from all those storms and wet weather you have been having and may be under attack by fungus around the butt of tree to wet/to much mulch to close to the trunk(collar rot).If it is the older leaves falling off they could have been attacked by white-fly in the autum/winter and are now just dropping.
Check the leaves a little closer and see if they have any unusual markings?
What we do after the fruit is finished (Jan/Feb) remove all the overripe fruit and then prune/shape/thin tree for next season a little fert and water (Apr/May)spray with wetable sulphur to stop white-fly attack and after flowering spray fort-nightly Mancozeb or similar till fruit is ripe.
Hope this is of some help. Good luck. Peter R. |

| The bark of the mango tree is going all black and seems to be splitting in the middle.I have with the help of a knife removed all the black bark but on one branch part of the part of the branch is dead .At the same time I notice that there are holes that have been bored in the branch.There are at the moment some mangoes on the tree which are still small.Does someone have some idea at what is going on and please help.It would be greatly appreciated.Thank you Jacques |

Mango tree problems: withered blackened young growth indicates the presence of tip borers. Spray with a systemic insecticide e.g. Rogor (full protection when spraying) and be sure to coat both sides of the leaves.
Anthracnose fungus causes black spotting on the leaves, flowers and fruit. Spray regularly (flowering to harvest) with Mancozeb. Root fungus or collar rot may be terminal but try a systemic fungicide e.g. Phosacid. Coat both sides of leaves. Do not water mango trees in the 3 months or so prior to flowering. |

| I too also ned help here. I have about 15 fully grown mango trees (Sunshine Coast Qld) where two have dropped all of their leaves for reasons unknown. Leaves dropped mid Spring at temperatures at approximately 25 deg Celsius. Nothing out of the normal in regards to soil, weather, etc. Other 13 trees still kicking along strongly and are in the same area. Leaves did not appear to be diseased, and tree trunk looks healthy. Do mango trees go through dormancy? Will leaves grow back? Or is a chain saw required? |
