Leopard tree

suewalker · 21st November 2010, 04:26 PM

Hi
I have a leopard tree that is approximately 10 years old - it is a beautiful tree but sadly this year leaf buds appeared as normal - produced the leaves but then the new leaves all fell off except for one small branch. the tree looks unwell. The bark is dull rather than the usual healthy sheen and there is mould on some of the branches. Can we save it and if so what do we need to do - hope someone can help

Quite a few around Brisbane have suffered the same, even right now the odd one is totally defoliated.

We need pics, but it sounds like it's dying.

Thanks Eric - I'll take a few pictures and post them but I was afraid that it may be dying.
cheers
