Default griselinia littoralis help please

Provided the leaf drop is not excessive it's normal. Griselinia leaves turn
yellow before the fall and can hang on at that stage for some time.
Incidentally, you may find it hard to imagine if you look at your plant, but
in the wild they often start life as epiphytes. Branch forks in the papery
bark of the tree fuchsia (Fuchsia excorticata) are popular sites for
germination.

Hi,

I have a couple of these shrubs. The ground they are on is covered with
weed control fabric and small stones. They have grown to about 7 feet
in about 5 years, in general they appear in good enough health but at
this time of year a lot of the leaves turn yellow and fall off, is this
normal and nothing to worry about or is it a sign that something is not
right. Any replies appreciated.

Thank you
