More Problems Growing Japanese Blueberry in the Desert

Q.
We planted two Japanese blueberry trees in March of 2011 and have fertilized
and watered them according to instructions. This summer they both are losing
leaves and have white tips on the edge of the leaves. Another name beside
Japanese Blueberry is Elaeocarpus Decipiens. Do you have any information or advise
on these trees?

A.
Questions about Japanese blueberry have been popular because people have not
had much luck with them in desert landscapes. They are not really intended for
desert landscapes even though they will grow in the desert if planted and
managed with care. So I have linked you with a few of my responses regarding
this tree from my blog.

I
hope this helps.
