Laurel Hedge
Hi,
A couple of months ago I cut back my Laurel 'hedge' in both height and depth. All was well until this week - I thought it was getting some new leaves but, upon close inspection I see that many of the leaves are turning white and/or brown and shrivelling up. You can see examples in some photos I have taken: http://tinyurl.com/2pgsya Can anybody shed any light on what is going here? Thanks in advance, Kroma PS I *think* it's a laurel! It was here when I moved in 2 years ago and has been healthy up to now. |

Your laurel will grow out of it, it is just a spot of mildew. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

This happens every July when ours is cut back, it always recovers and grows back twice as thick within a month. We have ours professionally cu; it borders the front and one side of the property and it's quite a big job. The gardener got blisters on his hands last year after cutting it and this year he wore tough gloves, I belive there is something nasty in the sap? Judith |

I've just had to do some major cutting back of a laurel tree. The smell of marzipan was quite strong ;-) -- Kay |
