Olga Fay asked 15 years ago

I have two Photinia Red Robin, looking smart and growing nicely but shedding an awful lot of leaves. I have one in the front (east facing) and one in the back (west facing) and clay soil.. There are also spots on the leaves. There is plenty of new red growth and other than that they look fine. Is there anything I can do to prevent or slow down the leaves falling? This part of the garden looks like autumn.

This is more than likely due to frost last January and the damaged leaves are now being shed, but new growth should be appearing too. It is also possible that it is caused by a leaf spot disease, but in Co. Meath, which got hard frosts, it is probably frost.
