Choysia tenata

Why is my choysia tenata developing yellowing on the leaves?

    Its not Sundance. I planted it last year and it is stilll quite small - 1 metre high. The soil is loam, nutural and not waterlogged. The label just said choisya tenata but does say it should have dark green glossy leaves.

    If a general feed doesn't help, get some Epsom salts, dilute 1 tbs in 1 gallon (15ml in 5 litres) of water and pour over the leaves using the rose on your watering can.   This will provide them with magnesium.  Its deficiency can lead to chlorosis - yellowing leaves.
