Thanks Borderline, I think the brown marks are from using Miracle grow. I did have a taller tree in a large pot there last year so it probably added to the problem. The small tree is also due to be planted in the garden this year so there wont be any run of from trees. I have bought another hose pipe to fit onto one of the water butts so it will be easier for me and they will be less likely to get watered from above. I'm starting to wonder if OH has got some of his lawn stuff on it. My hands were burn from it, it's taken over a week for them to heal and all I did was pick up turfs that I had cut of the lawn.
All possible, but the leaves can be pruned out as the shrub grows a bit more. Not likely any lasting damage by the looks of it. I'm sure your shrub will start to improve in the next few months.
Thanks borderline, I was going to ask about pruning as the branches really overhang the pot. I'll wait till all the flowers have gone and take out the nibbled leaves and some of the really long branches and give it a feed. Thanks again.
