Question from
Gilbert Wright
Hi,
I have a Japanese Cloud Tree. It is about 4 years old, and planted in the ground. Until this year, I had no problems but now, several of the 'clouds' seem to be dying off. Do you have any idea what the problem can be, and can you suggest a solution?
Regards,
Gilbert Wright
