However since I have planted them the leaves started to go a little bit "crinkly" and brown around the edges. Now some of the leaves have gone have deep black and some parts yellow, It only appears on some parts of the plant (the black) but it looks awful. It appears to be struggling. Any ideas what it could be and how to treat it. (I will take photos and post soon). My brother in law said it could be a fungus or mould. Help! Thanks Re: Help! My tree is black! 2Feb 17, 2010 8:27 am Post a piccie. I wouldn't be overly concerned. I trust you just used a good certified organic soil when planting. The use of lots of manures when planting can cause potential burning of the roots. Right now, seasol, some molasses and powerfeed. If a plant is sick.
