Comments (6)brandon7 asks some good questions. dan suggests too much water, another possibility. bogturtle also has a good thought as many broadleaf evergreens drop 2 year old foliage. One more possiblilty! Isn't this website great? In my area alkalinity causes the chlorosis and leaf drop that you describe. Also nitrogen defeciency. The first thing that I would do is send a soil sample taken from around the plant to the extension service or other soil testing lab to see if your situation is alkaline or high pH. The test should also tell you if it is lacking in nitrogen, phosphorous, or potash; some go on to micro-nutrients which can also be "tied up" in the soil from alkalinity (or high acidity!). The extension service usually tells you what you need to do to modify the situation. Hortster...See MoreNeed advice on pruning and/or rejuvenating holly tree
Comments (8)How to Post Pictures on Gardenweb One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up. Once your picture has been uploaded, find its image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with a href=... (This code looks different than the code below, because it will actually produce a picture link instead of just a picture.) Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"> _____________________________________ If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600> _____________________________________ Another option is to use a text link which might be beneficial to people on slow connections. To do this, use the command: a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text goes here/a> _____________________________________ Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image web address, of course)....See MoreIdentify Tree Bark
