It would be helpful to see the underside of a few of those in question.

As a general rule it's not a good idea to fertilize plants that may be
under
stress. My casual observation is that plants are not lacking for
nutrients
but may have a micro-nutrient defeciency or toxicity.

Don't forget that gardenia leaves do not last forever The older leaves or
damaged leaves will drop and usually before a flush of growth in the
spring.

We have 9 Chuck Hayes Gardenias that I planted a few years back that are
looking a little sickly. Up until now they've been very healthy, hardy
plants.

If anyone has any idea what is going on with them from looking at these
photos I'd appreciate some help:

I just gave them their spring feeding with Holly-tone yesterday, the
browning is from before that feeding.

Thanks,

Robert
