Confused.com 😂

@pelly 🤣😂 it’s having some sort of crisis I reckon 🙈

Two thirds of the leaves have dropped off mine, but it's still opening flower buds 🤷

@ejonesy same with this one! Never known it happen before 🤔 I tried to find out why and it’s either just normal shedding for new growth or iron deficiency 😜

@kez001uk I think mine's looking too sickly to be normal shedding. It's only been in 2yrs so I had an investigate, root ball was unchanged 🙁 tried improving the soil around it and it is putting new little shoots on the tips 🤞

@ejonesy sounds like you’ve sorted it 😁 think mine was not watering it enough 🙈

@gjones thanks Katy 😀 it looks deceptively small in the photo 😂 the pot it’s in is 50cm across so it’s a decent size now 💚

@gjones it seems to grow like cake layers 😂 I do love it though. A simple plant but never stops looking good. And always better with the berries ❤️❤️

What Berries on Holly already?? I love it but isn't it early for that? I hope I get some on mine @kez001uk yours looks very healthy 😊😊❤❤

@midnightgardener I was surprised too 😂 everything is happening early! There’s quite a few little bunches on it too. I hope it doesn’t mean it’ll be berry-free over winter
