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!

Not necessarily Jenny! (See my other posting) mine's next to a
hawthorn hedge facing East.

Mine was in a pot on the roof garden. Maybe it would have survived if it had
been in the ground :~)
