A snapshot<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

One common concern is leaf discolouration. Yellow leaves usually indicate a water-related issue: either too much or too little. A plant that becomes generally lighter green often suffers from a lack of nutrients. It is important to realise that, under stress, bay trees may deliberately shed leaves as a protective mechanism. Bringing a single yellow leaf to a garden centre is not enough to establish a proper diagnosis. That yellow leaf represents only a snapshot and does not tell the full story. To understand what is wrong, you will need to explain how the plant has been cared for. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
