Tamarillo

[Lyn Isaac]

I have a tamarillo tree that lost all it's leaves and the last 3cm of the shrunk is dead and brown. Before dropping the leaves got more yellow and yellow. Does anybody know what this is and how to fix it? Thanks

HI Lyn, they lose their leaves if they get frosted, but by this time of year they should be growing more green leaves. sorry but id doesn't sound good for your tamarillo

[Lyn Isaac]

No it doesn't does it?? It still had leaves after the last frost and heaps of aphids which I sprayed off with water. I was hoping they had got past the frost and it was something else :( thanks Kali.

If there is a reasonable piece which you can take off with a heel, they do grow from cuttings

Thanks Kali, I will give that a go if I can find a reasonable piece.
