I wonder if anyone can help? A friend of mine has a Bottlebrush,
Callistemon citrinus. It has started shedding some leaves, and
other leaves
are turning yellow. It is in a pot at the moment because of frost
fears,
and is in and out of the house (no greenhouse). Does anyone know
what might
be causing the leaf problems? Could it need more water, or be in
need of
some sort of 'food', or ?

Thanks for any help
Paul

Cold/frost is the problem. You need to bring them in during winter!

Jenny,

I have two of them and they survived minus 12 last winter so I don't
think cold/frost is actually the problem, more being moved about to
and from differing temperatures. Personally I would plant it out in
the spring and let it settle down.
