Hello everyone,
I have a quick question about some leaf spots on my Ice Cream. I've since repotted it to a 30 gal smart pot in miracle gro potting soil (which it seems to love) and has really taken off again with the new leaves looking great. However, during the time it was starting to struggle in that little three gallon pot, I saw some leaf damage develop. It has been a really hot summer here 95+ temps since June. Several leaves have a reddish streaking to them with some dead spots about the size two quarters. These started when the plant was really stressed. It looks like heat stress, especially given that the leaves always fold during the mid day even now in the 30 gallon. But the leaf spots and streaking do look vaguely like Sigatoka. The TC I received was very healthy, but did come from South Florida. Is Sigatoka a problem for Namwah types? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's stress. bet when it cools down a little the new leaves won't have it.
