Here is a picture of some type of leaf burn on both of my plants. What causes this I have not sprayed anything for over a week and it has only been in the 70s

Columbia you don't have to much Nitro and if you haven't sprayed anything it must be sun damage. It's not pest or fungice

Have the leaves that are burnt been wilting during the daytime? By daytime I mean late morning to mid afternoon.

Thanks for the help

I have been thinking about putting up the misters I just don't like having the plants wet all the time. Whats everyones thoughts.

It is a little hoter today in the 80s

Are the leaves effected closest to that brick walkway? Could be eccess heat reflecting of the brick near the leaves causing this? Just a quick thought? without seeing the actual postion of the leaves affected in relationship to the brick walkway of course.

it's been my experience that the leaves that are a little bigger than your hand seem to be the ones that burn in the sun the most. it looks like sunburn to me also. try shading the first couple of feet of the vine and see if it helps.

Like Steve says, I've used shade cloth or remay on newer growth until it hardens off with great succes...big pain moving cover around but it pays off!
