Looks like it is being burnt up by the sun. They also do not like
getting completely dry. This is Texas, not San Francisco. ;-)

hey out there...

so i just sank a dwarf bottle brush (i hope i have the name right)
in my back yard, and it's displaying something strange.

i'm a fairly new gardener, so can anyone help me interpret
what i'm seeing?

go he

you'll notice that many of the leaves have dried up ends and
many of the lower leaves have fallen off. there is also quite
a bit of good looking growth as well.

so am i over/under watering? is there a lack of nutrients?

any help is appreciated. the bush is in pretty much full sun
in the afternoon.

thanks so much,
marty.
