Hi J Find somewhere to host the images where we don't have to register to view them. Sorry but I get enough spam as it is.

Could be lots of things but we need to see the images first.

Well, I don't think I would blame the friend. New plants, change of environment, etc.

Looks like you might have a leafspot disease there but it's probably secondary. ie the leaves got damaged physically allowing a weak disease into the damaged area.

My guess is they got scorched - maybe come out of a shady store onto your bright windowsill?

Forget about sprays or fungicides. Don't water on the leaves, especially if they are in direct sunlight. You'll get a lens effect concentrating the light and burning the leaves. I would expect the new leaves to grow healthy and in due course, the older, damaged ones can be removed.

Beware of spraying air-freseheners etc in the same room.

It's a pain but they should recover given time and care - watering and light feeding, directly into the pot.

Thanks Gerry... I thought it may have something to do with water on the leaves.. The trees are outside and the sun in Miami is strong..

Although, I had two choices when ordering sungrown or shade grown and I ordered the sungrown..

Thanks for your response...

I'm always open to anyone else's opinions also,.
