What kind of laurel, Prunus or Aucuba (spotted laurel), where are they planted (in open ground, in a pot...), and a photo of the problem would be useful

Many thanks for your reply, It's in open gound, I have sent a photo seperately as I could not figure out how to send it with this reply.

You can either add a photo to this question, post another question with a photo or put the picture in your photos section on your home page (where it isn't currently, I just checked, so I don't know where the picture is)
