What is the value of this post?
You're actually adding nothing of interest. Why do you keep doing that?

Posted 10 years 5 months ago #13254So, what you could probably do it?s to feed your plant with a fertilizer. The amount and frequency of the "treatment" would depend on the species, the fertilizer itself and the current season of the year. (Just follow the manufacturer instructions)

Very useful post, I will keep that for my own reference.
However, if it was nitrogen deficiency, I would not expect the two spots. To me it looks like an infection, maybe a bacteria:
"The symptoms of bacterial spot are quite different from other diseases of stone fruits. They may be confused with nitrogen deficiency"
More info:
Control tips are at the bottom of this page.
I don't know if it is a bacteria or a fungus (both can cause similar effects):

Sorry Auk, but I don't seem to see those two spots you are referring to. In the first picture I see no spots at all :blink:
Now, that said, after reading your first link I see that stone fruit trees are actually prone to suffer this kind of infestation, so I think I might have discarded other causes too fast and a bacterial disease could be present as well. :pinch:

Posted 10 years 5 months ago #13257- Have you recentely repotten?
- Changes fertilizing?
- where does it stand?
Have you checked whether you see any insects roaming around on the leaves?
I would choose in the area of bacterial, or perhaps fungal, infection of the stems/sapwood. This sort of die-off you often see in shrubs with a fungal infection in the phloem. But as IO do not know the circumstances, nor the species of plant you have there.. It is guessing for me too.
