Dropping Photinia Leaves

Question

We have a hedge of 3 photinias and this year lots of leaves have dropped off and the plants are looking very bare in places. Is there anything I can do to save the plants or would it be best to pull them up?

Answer 1

Are you seeing any other symptoms, like spotting on the leaves? It could have a fungus. It may also need pruning.
