Thanks Steve. Thats strange as this is in a moist part of the border. Perhaps the damage was done last summer when it was warm and dry...but its only just started showing.

Being golden means less chlorophyll I think and this can lead to problems darker green wouldn't get.....
I lost Choysia ternata Sundance to frost whereas the basic green lives and flowers happily

I wonder about frost or sun/windscorch.....or as Snoop says dryness, you did have that recent warm spell......
maybe it needs a more sheltered location?

Yes, wind. That will be it. Its been such a windy summer, and cold, though not particularly wet (it seemed wetter than it actually was according to the farmer). It will be wind scorch. I will remove and replace with something tougher. Thanks.

Its all a learning curve for you isn't it Karen, thereagain the weather is so haphazard at the moment its not easy....
here we've gone for bone hardy now.....so many changes in the weather over the 30 years we've been here
at the moment its the northeasterly winds, always used to be warm southwesterlys
tender things live in pots and go in the gh to overwinter, in 2010 most of them died even in there....heigh ho ?

Yes Pam. This is the windiest place I've ever lived.

And people are chatting on here about it being a really hard winter.....Nooooooo?

I had heard a rumour......
