I've got two dwarf flame bushes that have lost all of their leaves. Both are still in their containers - I'd been waiting to plant them until I could clear the area I wanted to plant them. They both started showing signs of a rust-like mottling on the leaves and I sprayed them with garret jucie and cornmeal juice twice over the course of 10 days before the leaves finally fell off completely. The trunk and stems are still supple and green. Is there any chance that I can save these? :cry:

Hi Dave,
Stressed plants will shed their leaves. If there is still green on the trunk and stems, then it's still alive. Plant asap.

Good luck,
Newt
