I thought they were indestructible! We have one outside that is
approximately 15 feet tall. I even had to take the chain saw to it over
Winter to remove a large branch that was overhanging the patio!
My guess, right or wrong, is that due to it being an evergreen, it will lose
a few leaves all the time anyway. I've just had a glance at ours and a small
proportion of the leaves are yellow / brown with a few dropped brown leaves
underneath it. I suspect the greatest danger may be over-watering.
Ours is also covered in green berries, it keeps self setting everywhere and
we've given lots of small bays away to our friends. I wonder if I could sell
some on e-Bay ;-)
