I bought and planted a Forsythia in May. It is situated in a shady/sunny
spot and I have kep it well watered since planting. However, all the
leaves
are starting to turn brown from the tips. I originally thought it was due
to insufficient watering as only the tips of the leaves were brown, but as
time goes on, the leaves are increasingly turning brown.
Any advice?

Forsythias are deciduous, which means they shed their leaves in
autumn, which seems generally to be early this year. Yours is only
doing what comes naturally.

Thanks...it just seemed way too early, but could be possible.
