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 ;-)

YTou know, you can go right off some folk!
