The very first thing I thought of was frost damage. It was a sharp one last night (where I'am at least) The worst damage seems to occure when you get frost that gets burnt off by strong early morning sun, like we had today, if its facing east, I wonder if this could be the problem, if so moving it to face *south*or west, may be a good option if thats possible ? Other than that I'd go easy on the bone meal. hope this is helpful Good luck.
