I planted the Osmanthus about 7 years ago and it's been fine the whole time. It's in the front garden and gets plenty of sun. It can get windy but as it is quite short there has never been any problems. This year lots of the leaves have turned completely brown and mostly dropped off, though the ones that are still green are also dropping off.
I live about 15 min walk from the beach. I suppose it could too much or not enough water.
What I want to know is what should I do now? Leave it, prune it down,or what?
