Default [IBC] -privets or Ligustrums

hello evey one,
ok for jim who wanted to know what the leaves were
doing. Well they were dark green when i purchased it.
But a month after i got it home the leaves started
turning light green to yellow then they would turn
brown and fall off. I have tried to contact the
person i bought it from but no luck. I think im going
to try the rose fertilizer because it does get brown
spots.
The only insects i have found were gnats but they
arn't sopposed to do any harm i dont think. Any way
thank you all for your help


Gnats, AND the leaves indicate to me that you are watering it
MUCH too heavily!

Keep a stick jammed into the soil. Remove it every morning and
feel the dirty end. If it is at all moist, do NOT water that
day. If it is dry, water.

Fertilizer is NOT medicine. Fertilizing a sick plant will, at
best, do no good. At worst it will hasten the tree's demise.
