Question
we bought a wisteria, planted in the right compost, 5 weeks ago, the leaves have started to fall off though there is new growth at the top we wonder if there is a problem with this ?

Acer; at the same time we bought a couple of acers, one has lost all its leaves & the other leaves are starting to go brown,  please could you help

Thank you Gary & Deb's

Answer
Hi Gary,
Thanx for your question.  Most shrubs and plants will experience some kind of shock at being transplanted.  Some weather it through better than others.  I think your wisteria will be fine if it has new growth.  As far as the Acers go, make sure you frequently water the plant but the soil also drains well.  Side dress the plants with some well composted cow or horse manure.  That's about all you can do now and hope that they come out of their shock.  You can check for disease or pests.  Although Acers are pretty tough.  I can't think of any other reason the plants have dropped their leaves other than shock.  Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks they will start showing signs of new life.  I hope this helps.
