Question from
Elaine Pierce
I have had my elaeagnus ;pungens macaluta for about 5 years with no problems, but over the last few weeks I have noticed that the leaves are turning a yellow/orange colour and dropping off? Anyone know the cause or more importantly the cure? Thanks

Question from
Giles Gostwick
We have had this shrub in our front garden for at least 15 years and it is now over 6 ft tall and about the same width. It is losing some of the variegation on its leaves. I am wondering when to prune, and how vigorous I can be. I would really like to take at least a foot off all round, but fear this will leave me with little foliage. Can you advise please?
