I have 6 bushes of Prunus laurocerasus in my garden. Beautiful, strong, growing. However, I noticed these changes on some leaves of almost all of them. Is it overfertilisation?

Hello, Bamboo. Yes, those leaves were !from the waist down" I would say by my terminology. However, one newcomer has it also on the top ans some of the youngest leaves are rolled inside like cigars. I opened scrolled leaves but did see any parasite...
By the way, thank you very much for information on fertilisation, I always gave them a palm of fertiliser each spring.

These do get leaf rolling insects, but they don't usually kill the plant. Sorry, didn't realise it was you who'd asked the question, lol!

Katarina....What did you say about my grubby thumb?
It is nice to see you get your hands in the soil ;)

First of all, Pim, you commented your thumb by yourself first. Others just added their comments.

I never even noticed the thumb or hand, but now that I look, what a large white half moon you have on your thumbnail - its twice the size of mine.

Hahaha, Bamboo. What does that mean? :)))

I have no idea! I'm old and you're not? I've got less brains? not a clue...

I think, there isn´t big age difference between us. We also have the same brain, as we are women, if you know what I mean. The same size, weight and topography of the brain. And - the common reason which is always superior to man´s.

...I wanted to say "common sense", of course...:)

You see? We are even best in nonverbal communication. :))

Hmm, well don't tell anyone else, but I think the female of the species is better at most things....

Absolutely! Cherchez la femme...was originally not about troubles :)))

NOthing to worry about, if its only a few leaves, specially if they're lower down near the base. Regarding fertilization, these plants don't really need feeding in the ground.
