It has magenta blossoms, but now after three days the blossoms are turning white. That does not seem like a good thing for it to be doing??? Can you tell me what is wrong?

Certified ExpertA.This happens as the blossoms age. It is completely normal for it to drop all blossoms after planting, due to the stress that this brings. Just care for it properly until it recovers.

Odessa, FloridaQ.Why Are My Barbados Cherry Blooms Falling Off?
My tree will have a lot of blooms but they all fall off and do not produce fruit. Mt tree is about 4 years old and has produced fruit in past years.

Certified ExpertA.It may be time to feed! Usually, the heavier feeding is done during its younger years, but it needs to continue at a slightly lighter rate after that. As long as you do not notice symptoms of disease, then this will be the best course of action.

Certified ExpertA.This can depend on several factors. If the tree is young, then this could be why. If the tree is of fruiting age, then there may be too much nitrogen in the soil, and not enough phosphorus and potassium. They can be a little sensitive to full sun, as well. Locate them in a semi shaded area.
