I’d say in the last 4-6 weeks it’s really just up and gone to total crap. Flowered amazing this spring, had great green leaves etc and just slowly just started yellowing and now just at its all time worse ever.
I moved my mini-split AC drip line closer to the tree around mid-June to take advantage of the clean water drip, and that’s sort of when it started going downhill. So about 4ish weeks ago I rerouted the drip so it doesn’t go anywhere near the tree. I otherwise was doing normal every 4-5th day watering for 5 minutes.
I’m in southern Baja Mexico, the tree is planted in sand, which dries really fast, so thinking this is somehow being over watered seems crazy to me! It’s been 90+ degrees with 70-80% humidity for 5 months. There are tons of these trees around my town and they all look great, have great green leaf canopies etc, so it’s not like ‘dude it’s fall they lose their leaves’
Attaching pictures from today. All the new growth is very stunted and ‘wrinkled’ but it’s basically all yellowing and ‘dying’ off.
HELP! Nearest arborist to me is 2 hours away and pretty much won’t come down to where I am.
TLDR:: poinciana tree is in Baja Mexico and is going to crap. See pictures.
