Well it has happened again. On the same tree another new leaf was unfurling and I went out today and there it was bent over near the base of the stem with a soft spot. No sign of being chewed on and the other older leaves, it has 7, are still good and strong. I bought two trees last fall, kept them in the green house till this spring, and set them out. One is in full sun and not having any problems other than some sharp shooter bugs sucking on the new leaves. This one is in partial shade -it gets some 6 hours of direct sun a day. Can anyone help me?
