Mick,

A further question - some of the bushes (8 ft) were planted about 10 weeks ago.

 

Would you expect them to start sprouting soon, or do I need to be more patient?

 

Regards,

 

Be patient, make sure they don’t dry out this first summer.

I planted maybe 120 round my house, didn’t lose 1.

All the Laurel Trees have put on a significant spurt of growth - apart from one where the leaves seem to be curling.

 

Also some of the new sprouts started off well on this tree - but now seem to be stunted.

 

The tree also has a number of yellow leaves that fall off easily.

 

Any advice in help to identify the problem would be appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Yellow leaves falling off is quite normal, as is the odd one struggling.

 

My employee sprinkled a bit of Blood, Fish and Bonemeal at the base of his new laurel hedge, seemed to invigorate it he said.

 

I’d pull off the yellowing leaves and you should see new buds underneath.

 

Give it till the end of the summer at least.
