Pomegranate tree, unsure if normal... [botany]

Featured Replies

Good day.

My pomegranate tree is 2 year new, about 2m tall in a drained 20 litre bucket outdoors now.  Shows pale portions on most of leaves.  Anyone familiar with a cause ?

Pale leaves usually from watering issues.  Either under or over watering.  

Has the move out doors been recent? Looks stretched towards light. If the move was sudden and recent, there could be shock and 'sunburn'.

Have leaves been watered in full sunlight? Should be a good chance of recovery for either of those. Maybe a fertilizer boost to help.

Otherwise,

Thanks.

Yes, recent move to outdoors and watered during some very sunny days, other days bordering freeze temperatures and very windy.  Tips of branches showing little new growth since the problem surfaced.

 

 

I would allow it to dry out between watering, not water on very cold days and avoid wetting leaves or moving again until its recovered . Recovery could be slow if days are still cold. 

If it must be moved, gradual change to conditions it will face will reduce shock.
