Is it possible that what your seeing are new leaves ?? Its a bit early but to have brown unfuled leaves now is very unusual ??

I've probably confused things by saying unfurled, the leaves were tied loosely up and now untied they've flopped but are still twisted. It was wrapped in netting material for this purpose, there was a fair amount of light, but lack of water looks like the real issue. Certainly getting enough now with all the rain past few weeks but could be too late...
