and then just turned brown, wouldn't leaf out and now looks dead. What went wrong ? Sudden intense humidity? I don't see any bugs or signs of disease. Seems other more sensitive trees have done the same. ???????
A fowering almond flowered bautifully in the spring?
Well, it will not tolerate much dryness and it will not tolerate salt spray from coastal conditions. It also can get a bacteria and a fungus - both of which will kill the leaves. Mildew will make the leaves turn white-ish and curl up and die. It can also succumb to verticulum wilt which will kill the plant.
If it was really humid, I am expecting it was the fungus that got it. Maybe if that was the case, you could treat it with a fungicide, fertilize it and see if it recovers. If it was verticulum wilt, it will not recover, though. It is a delicate plant and can perish easily. It also will not survive hot summers in places that are zone 7 or hotter, so you just may be too far South to have it survive.
