Jacaranda Turning Brown

Question

My jacaranda tree which is only a year old, the leaves are Turning brown from the tips of the leaves and the whole tree has a yellow look to it. I do not believe it is heat scorch because the days have been cool. I have sprayed the tree with pesticide because ants were all over it. Any ideas and tips would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Depending on the type of pesticide that you chose, it could be sun scorch! Many oil based pesticides caution in the instructions that the product should not be used when the sun is out, or only use when cloudy.
