Question from
Plummy Mummy
I have a callicarpa growing well in a pot in South London. Am about to move to Falkirk - does anyone know if this will grow up there?

Plant not doing well.
Hardly any berries in Autumn.
Leaves look discolored, with brown yellowish leaves.
What could I be doing wrong?
Any particular feed?
Thanks
