What causes the leaves on a holly to turn yellow and fall off?
Question:
Answers:
Play it safe. Spray it with fish emulsion for some extra iron. If you recently planted it, it may be just stress. The emulsion will help with that too
I'm not an expert, but as hearty as holly's are, it may be one of two things, either bugs or not enough water.
I'm not sure what part of the country you are in but it sounds to me like a lack of water. Try fertilizing with Holly Tone fertilizer if you have not done it lately . Spread it around the plant and work it in and then water it well. Hope it works for you.
It can be a number of things. Sometimes the tree is just growing new leaves and pushing the old ones off. If it's an area of leaves, the branch may be bad or have an infestation of sorts. I had a 15 foot holly tree in my back yard that was dying, or so I thought, I cut it down at the trunk and left it. The following year it started to grow back. Now it's about 4 feet tall. Good luck.
Buy some hollytone plant fert and apply as directed.
Malnutrition or its getting to much direct sunlight.
Make sure your giving it enough water. Also what type of soil are you using, make sure its nutrient enriched.
My mom used to have issues with yellow leaves on her plant and it was often solved by simply moving it two inches to the left; the sun was just to bright where it sat.
Natural attition. Lack of iron. Coperas fertilizer or rusty nails in the dirt around the drip line will help.
