Hi all,
I planted a Portuguese laurel about 4 weeks ago (came as a root ball), and started noticing more and more browning on the leaves (see pics).
A few details:
- Recently planted, root ball stock
- Facing north-east and almost adjacent to the building, so it doesn’t get a huge amount of direct sun, therefore soil might be staying moist
- At the same time, I’m unsure if it could actually need more water while establishing
The browning seems to be spreading and I’m not sure if I’m dealing with:
- transplant shock
- overwatering / poor drainage
- underwatering
- or something else entirely
Has anyone experienced this with Portuguese laurel? Any idea what the most likely cause is and what I should adjust?
Thanks in advance 🙏
