Could it just be autumning because they're getting ready to fall?

Dont really know Bb thought that but`s its a relatively new plant growing up trellis did your`s start of black Stjohn? I thought it was some form of mildew but some of the new leaves are also turning purple & they are quite small

Its not just windburn is it?

Could be for mine, Milky. Mine has been poor for a couple of years now.It is on a westerly facing fence so gets quite a bit of wind.

No problem Mookins lol i bought mine in garden centre was ok back in early july dont think it`s windburn Milky as my garden is sort of enclosed thanks for suggestions anyway,will soon no in a while if it starts to die of :~((

It's gonna die back anyway cos of winter - just re read your original question and you were having this trouble a while back - has the plant continued to grow since you first mentioned the problem? If so, I wouldn't worry too much - see if it does it again next year.

Yes still growing Bb but leaves got worse, will see how it does next year !!
