Mark,

Do you know if this is a problem for 'Hua Moa'? I had trouble with almost every single leaf that mine tried to put out this year. Being in Houston we do have high night-time temps for several months at a time. I had to help almost every leaf unfold and many had burned looking spots on them. Now that is has started cooling off at night the problem seems to be getting better. I wonder if 'Hua Moa' is originally from a higher elevation that cools somewhat at night?
