I an growing a tea olive -- osmanthus fragrens -- in a pot. This is supposed
to be an outdoor plant that grows 12 feet or more, but it's pretty much
confined to the deep south.

My bush endured for several years in a large pot, but finally died. So I
ordered a new one, which came in a small pot. It seemed quite healthy when
it arrived, but a month or so after I replanted it in a larger pot, leaves
began to fall off.

Any ideas about what's causing this, or what can be done to prevent it, will
be most welcome.

Older leaves? Younger leaves? Color changes? Spots?
