Persimmon leafs spots

Well-known member
I have a persimmon tree that is showing some black spots on the edges and causing the leafs to dry and curl. Does any one has an ideas of what can be the cause?
Would greatly appreciated any suggestions.

Thanks for posting this. I am going to follow along to see what people say. I think I had the same issue for the first two years after planting on one of my persimmons. Still not sure what it was. As a precaution, I treated it with a homemade insecticide soap, since I thought it might be a mite or some kind of small insect causing the issues. Either that worked or something else did, because the issue went away. Or maybe it just "grew out of" whatever was going on. Here is a video of what I used. As a side note: if you ever get spider mites, this stuff is great!

 
I think some of the persimmons I grafted in the field look like that. I was assuming from sunburn. I was told I probably should cover the grafts but I didn't, just let them be.
 
Last year the leafs were normal . At the beginning of the spring they were still fine and all of a sudden in the last month the tips looks black. I did treat it with neem oil/ soap solution twice . The young leafs are coming still out damaged.
