My two year old Persian silk tree has just come out of winter in the conservatory and is producing lots of healthy growth. However the leaves look variegated. They look healthy though with no signs of browning or wilting etc any ideas?

    Maybe a nutrient deficiency? I've never grown it - no conservatory.

    It might be the result of cold.  We have a full sized tree outside and it is showing no signs of bud burst yet so I would advise you to take yours back into the conservatory until night time temps are well above freezing.   The bare trees can withstand a bit of frost but not the young foliage or flower buds.
