Buddleja davidii
Hi, I have a Buddleja davidii. Its leaves are going yellow and are falling off, I'm not sure why. We haven't used any chemicals near or on the plant. It is planted next to an apple tree that has grey, powdery leaves, but I can't see the same powder on the leaves of the Buddleja. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. The apple tree sounds as if it has mildew. Is it in a rain-shadow (close to a fence or wall?). This can sometimes create a propensity for an infection like this. What are the soil conditions and what aspect is the buddleia growing on? |

Is the rest of your garden growing strongly? I had this on a number of plants when we bought this house two years ago - the garden had been neglected for many years. Rather than try to pinpoint which nutrient is missing, do you have a good compost available? Try to mulch round the plant and see what affect that has. |

The rest of our garden is growing well (except for the muddy patch, where the birds have discovered birdseed). I will get some good compost and see where it goes from there. Thankyou. |
