So I bought a house (1947) with a mature avocado tree. There was an offshoot that grew off the base off the original/thicker trunk (about 1/3 the thickness) The newer trunk produces 90% of the fruit and the older side has leaves that are larger. Someone said the older side is dying and I think it just doesn’t get the sun the new side gets. Older side faces East and newer side faces west. Thoughts?

Hello: I have had a [url=https://www.plantsrescue.com/tag/jacks-beanstalk/]Jack’s beanstalk[/url] (Castanospermum austral) as a houseplant for about 2 years now, and I quite like it. However, something has gone horribly wrong with the leaves for the second time now – they basically curled up, became like paper, and started dropping. The first time this happened, I cut of all the leaves and branches, and left it outside. New branches and leaves eventually showed up, and I moved it indoors. Now, about 6 months later, the same old problem has afflicted the plant, as you can see from the pics. Does anyone have any idea on what the problem may be? Thanks!!
