Jacaranda trees

Question

Nearly all the mature Jacarandas in the Upper Hunter this year have very few fully developed leaves at this stage. They seem to begin and then just die off – particularly high up in the trees.

Can anyone tell me what is going on please? I have a beautiful, mature jacaranda in my garden and it flowered well but now has a fraction of its normal leaf cover.

Answer 1

Can you include a picture? This will help me to help you better. I would guess a pH issue without seeing what is going on, but this is just a guess. You can apply dolomitic lime, and if this does not solve the problem then we can move on to the next possible issue.
