My Flamingo standard leaves are turning brown?

Not sure if it’s not enough water?

    Probably. Wind and sun will also fry leaves. 
    Would need a photo though, to give more/suitable advice.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • I’ve managed to remove most of the brown leaves, will post @ photo if it continues thank you for replying

    You cannot overwater a Salix if it’s planted in the ground … so give it two buckets full of water every other day for the next ten days then two buckets full twice a week until the end of September. Pour tge water gently over the root area so that it soaks right down to the rootball and doesn’t run off the surface. 

    It might just be that the very hot weather and drying winds have frazzled the leaves … but lots of water won’t harm it and might just save it.
