What's wrong with my Honeysuckle?

Hello :-)

I have a Honeysuckle which is growing quite well to the top of a 6ft trellis and has stated to produce flower buds.

However just recently some of the leaves have stated to turn yellow, and many others have become brown and brittle just around the edges.

Please could someone tell me if this is a disease or soil deficiency etc?

Many thanks :-)

 

Sounds like one of the Leaf Spots to which almost every plant is subject. Unless the defolaition is severe there is normally no treatment needed. However, you can spray with a fungicide (either a bought one, or 1 part full cream milk to 9 parts water) and make sure the plant is well watered and give a good feed with a high nitrogen liquid feed to encourage new leaves.

 

mine has similar looks.......oh dear !!
