Holly Horror

 

I have a standard holly that is approximately 6 years old.  It is planted in the ground, rather than a pot and our soil is quite sandy.  It is growing well in height and leaf production, but for the past 2 years the leaves have been curled - they do not open even when fully formed.  On reading up about this I expected to find bugs/eggs inside the leaves but this is not the case.  Does anyone have any ideas please?

    a photo would help as how the leaves are curling could give an indication of if its a disease, pest or nutrient deficiency

  • Thanks treehugger80 and Verdun.  Yes, I wondered about the soil being sandy.  The roots were teased out.  Maybe I will move it to a very large pot.

  • My job for the weekend I thinkimage Many thanks for the advice.
