By Meena
United Kingdom 
We have a holy tree which is more that 22 years old. Suddenly over the last year the leaves are becoming yellow and falling off. The tree does not have any dark glossy green leaves anymore. What should I do?

Hi Leigh,
This one is only young, often in the past they were left because of their powers to ward off evil spirits, often associated with Xmas. From memory I can only visualise them at about 50 years old, as with other trees they have got in the way of progress.
Feeling a lot better thanks, getting around and doing a bit, glad it's rained. Hope you are well.

Your tree may be getting too large in top growth for it's root area, also the lack of glossy leaf indicates pollution. Can you make more water available for the roots together with liquid feed maxicrop with sequestrene.
