I noticed the start of this on one of my trees about 2 weeks ago and thought that maybe it was sun burn . It has progressively got worse and the I noticed it on another tree a few days ago. Its only on the new growth and the stems of the affected foliage seem to just snap off realy easy.
Anyone have any idea what it could be

Hi Anth

I think you may be correct, sunburn. Usually effects new soft growth.

Also, how often are you fertilising that one?

When I remember , maybe once a month if I dont forget. This year I have definitely fed a lot less than last year:-o

I would look closely at the leaves as there could be a sucking insect problem. Maybe spider mite. Look for webbing and evidence of spots where the mites are or have been sucking. Might not be the case but you should cover all potential exigencies.
