| Hi guys, would love your thoughts. I have a nectarine in a large pot which was planted bare root last winter. It broke bud perfectly in spring and has put on a tonne of growth. A couple of leaves were affected by leaf curl, but was literallya handful which I pulled off months ago. Over the last fortnight it has been dropping perfectly healthy green leaves. No signs of deficiency, no nutrient burn etc it has dropped a few every day and is becoming sparse. What could be causing this?

| The tree in the pictures doesn't look sparse to me. Is that a current picture? Are you south or north of equator? Wondering if you are early summer or entering winter. That could affect leaf drop. |

| The blog address implies the OP is in Australia. |
|
| Australia yes, we are in our first month of summer. Its thinning from the inside out, I tired to get some good pics but my camera refused to focus. here is one though

| Your tree could be a little short on nitrogen. But nectarine do naturally drop some healthy looking leaves. That would be the oldest leaves as is occurring on your tree. So I don't think this is serious. |

| ok thanks a lot |
