Fuchsia problem
Last year the leaves on the branches on one of our fuchsia's (it's not near
any others) started shrivelling up progressively long before the end of autumn. We decided not to get shot of it then but would wait till spring to see if it was dead. We cut back the dead branches in the winter and were most surprised at the plant's rapid growth and marvellous flowering this year. However, this last week the leaves on two branches are shrivelling and I expect the whole plant to be affected soon. Does anybody know what the problem is please? Geoff |

Geoff It seems to me that there is no problem. It's just doing what the others do, but earlier. Do what you did last year, and the plant will probably follow suit. Steve |

Geoff The top growth of fuchsia is very sensitive to cold, some varieties will keep a stem structure while losing their leaves, more sorts will spring anew from below ground while some really lovely sorts have to be protected to survive. yours is just a wee bit more sensitive than your others or maybe it gets a cold draught, either way its getting ready for winter. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
