I purchased a large number of jujube trees this year. I planted most in a sandy loam mix. These trees are doing fantastic. However, the local soil provider talked me into a container mix for the rest. Every one of these trees have stopped growing and the leaves have started to brown on the edge. Each tree is in a 7-10 gallon container. The mix is a very dark sandy loam loaded with pecan shells. Is anyone familiar with this mix? I am assuming that it is way too acidic. I plan on chaning out the soil on every container this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions? Look at the pics and tell me if you think the trees are lost. Some of the trees arent even budding while the trees in the good mix are full of leaves.
