Leaves on my 2 guava trees are curling/ turning brown on the edges; even the new leaves. I water; no visible bugs. Any suggestions?

Have you fed your plant lately? You may need to fertilize. : ) During winter I don't use full strength, I use about 1/4 strength. You should see some turn around. : )

The leaves may be turning to brown since they lack chlorophyll. Another cause might be they are densely packed together and they are fighting for nutrients. However, you should keep on watering them and place them in an area that has partial shade.

Brown edges means your plant isn't getting enough water. If you are watering the problem could be under the soil, an air pocket, improper drainage, even the wrong kind of soil. If you act soon you can save your plant.

Curling could also mean chemical like 2-4-D if this is an outside plant. If somebody used it on their lawn on a windy day.
