P Piroska:hello, I live in Perth and I have planted a mango tree autum last year and used organic compost and watered every day etc using organic fertiliser with seaweed as well and now my leaves are like this, any idea what i am doing wrong?

D daveb:aunt in florida used to fertilize her mango's all the time pretty much like you mention you are doing and i remember her mentioning she had found out that she shouldnt fertilize in weather with high heat or during what is their dormancy stage as it will cause problems with roots and leaf, and was told 2 times a year only is needed spring and fall and to only use i think she said a 10-10-10 fertilizer. her leafs were getting ugly brown colors on them and even some the tips and edges were showing signs of brown burning. so not sure if you have same issue she had+1

G GKY:Agreed. They went without watering for two dry weeks while I was away. But I've got this impression that peas don't need much in the way of fertilizing. Maybe some worm tea will pick them all up?

Mandy Onderwater:
I'm not at home at the moment. Maybe @daveb is available
I think yellowing leaves could be calcium deficiency of the top of my head; but I reckon not having water for 2 weeks could've done harm too -
