Mary on Aug 04, 2013Hi Douglas! Thanks for responding. Do you have a guess as to the age, or why the leaves' tips turn yellow/brown? I've been told it's because I've over fertilized it but I haven't fertilized it at all...Helpful Reply

Mary on Aug 05, 2013Hi Douglas! I had actually come across the fluoride tip in my research, but we live in the middle of nowhere and doubt that could be the problem. However; now that you mention it I will find out today...thanks for the direction.Helpful Reply
