Spot on

Maite Marumo of Cape

Town writes The leaves of my sapling avocado tree were healthy and shiny when I transplanted the young plant into a pot. The leaves have brown spots now. What could be the problem?

JJ replies This could be the start of a fungal disease called anthracnose. Spray your tree with Mycoguard and repeat after 10 days. Be sure to spray the soil as well.
