Honeysuckle problem
« on: May 29, 2012, 17:52 »
Can anyone help I have noticed that the lower leaves are turnig yellow and dropping off.
They are in three feet tall chimney pots growing up an arch .
I planted them last summer they are in a shaded area with very little sun they have not flowered they are supposed to be hardy evergreen that's why I bought them to cover the archway and not to bothered about not flowering as long as they stay green.
They were fed with fbb at the beginning of spring and not let dry out.
Any advice appreciated.

In the wild, leaves low down on the stems often turn yellow and drop off, so I guess that this is normal.

Usually linked to low light levels near the base of the stems

Cheers for the reply.
They did take a bashing with strong winds in April , so let's hope that is the problem.
