I should like to ask Margaret whether she ever found out what was eating her laburnum? I have the same problem. Leaves are eaten as they come out, buds are also eaten and a light slime is sometimes is attached to the damage, suggsting slugs. This has proved not to be the case. Help please before this young tree gives up the unequal struggle.

Margaret's post was four years ago and she has made no more posts since then that I can see so it looks as though she joined Goy just to ask that one question. You could try sending her a Private Message - click on her avatar to get to her home page and choose the Private Message option. She should be notified but it will be a matter of luck whether she replies. Sorry you have the same problem.
