It seemed like an extra bad one this year that had the same effect on the pomegranates, some mulberries, and some of the grapes too. The apples, pears, and even the peaches and plums were totally unaffected.

thanks for the reply! will the plants be ok and grow new leaves?  sorry this is the first time this has happened to me and im freaking out a little bit! lol!  after 5 years of waiting for the fruit it would suck if the plants were to die! lol!

hello this is going to be year 5 for my hardy kiwi, hoping this is the year i get fruit, but now im getting black brittle leaves. Here in ohio and about 2 weeks ago it had been warming up, one day it was 70 and i was in shorts, then wham! temps dropped and we got snow again like 3 to 4 inches, then warmed up melted then wham temp drop and black ice. could the sudden warm up cool down warm up cool down caused this to happen to the kiwi plants? Any ideas on what to do? or will the plants bounce back and leaf again?  Thank you!
