Japanese allspice (Wintersweet)

[junmilo]

Hi All,

I have these yearlings and I'm kind of confused as to if the tree is sick or if it is the fall season and that the leaf are turning yellow.

The outside temp here in southern Ontario, Canada in the evening ranges from 11C to 5C and in the morning the temperature ranges from 25C - 21C. None of my JM leaf turning color yet, but these guys have these brown leaf all over and some die backs as well.

Thanks,

J

Too wet? Things really slow down this time of year and don't use as much water. Your soil appears soggy.

I just watered it that's why. I have two other containers at other locations of the house and they don't show any signs of this leaf damage...

Do those even have any roots yet?
Looks like small cuttings in the pic.

They were all grown from seeds. so yes have roots.

you definitely have a plant health issue,
I can't tell what,
Fungus?
Bacteria?
Insects?
Mites, spider mites, false mites, flat mites?
Too wet?
Too dry?
Alternating between too wet and too dry? (worse than either one)

From your pictures I can't tell. Run through this list in your mind, see which one fits. Look closely for signs of causal organisms.
