Can anyone help me? The leaves of my weeping willow tree are turning yellow
and falling off. The ones that haven't yet gone yellow are green, limp and
crispy. I have had the tree for about 6 months and it is in a large ceramic
pot on my patio. It was attacked by some insects in July and a similar
thing happened then, but I can't see any insects on it this time. Obviously
the leaves all returned after the July attack, but I'm not sure what has
caused the problem this time. When it first started turning yellow I
noticed it was particularly dry so have given it lots of water and a feed of
Miracle Grow but to no avail. Could it be pot-bound? It's gone downhill so
quickly.....

The effect of drought doesn't necessarily appear instantly - it can
droop, you water it, and a few days later the leaves go crisp. It will
probably recover and send out new shoots after that.

As a general rule, you should not feed a sickly plant, or one that you
have allowed to go dry.
