Hello iskhan,

We had a mango tree in Florida (not Pakistan, I know), but it sounds like frost/cold damage to me. Cold damage starts at about 38 degrees Farenheit / 3 degrees Centigrade. When the weather gets cold, cover your plant with a sheet or bring it indoors if it's a potted plant to protect it from frost. Over-fertilizing can burn your leaves too, but also affects new shoots. Good luck!! =]

Hi

Here in Karachi Pakistan minimum temp. is 10C and maximum is 45C so there is no problem of frost at all.

Hmm... Ok I have some questions then:
1. When the leaves turn brown, are they crispy and dry to the touch or
still a little fleshy?

2. Do they break off the branch easily or do you have to pull them off?

3. Are the new shoots healthy and bright green?

4. What kind of soil do you have?

5. When the leaves are turning brown, are there any holes or patterns on
the leaves?

Hopefully I'll be able to figure this out once I know a little more about what's happening to your little mango tree!!
