    I have put in a lot of this variety, all around the edge of my property. Most are thriving.

    4 of them have the leaves shrivvelling, curling up and turning Purple/Brown. Can anyone guide me on why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Are the sad ones together or amongst the happy ones?

    They need slightly acidic soil and if they turn yellow may be soil adjustment, thats all I'm afraid
