Seems they start 'turning" in mid-winter--and I always thought it was just cold damage. This Spring--it is as if ALL the leaves that are affected are last seasons older leaves. In other words--the new growths from last season are all still green and OK, but all the others are dropping off to bare stems..... The bush is OK otherwise---buds are opening and it is "marching on"... I would appreciate anyone's knowledgeable guess as to what is going on here????? I sure don't want to lose this beauty!!!! What should I do? I will rake up all the leaves as they fall--in case it is a fungus of some kind...get rid of the old mulch too...How about spraying? OR--is it just Winter damage?????? Here's a couple of pictures. This is looking into the shrub. |
