In April, out of boredom, I purchased a flowering Japanese quince from Brussel's. It was too cold here to put it outside yet, and no surprise, it dropped all of it's leaves. After a couple of weeks outside, it quickly rebounded and was full of new leaves. Then, the leaves started to look bad, not crunchy from underwatering. I sprayed it with Bayer 3 in 1, but again, dropped all of it's leaves. It seems to be starting to send a few new buds out now. It has been an extremely wet spring and so far summer here, so maybe too much water is the cause? I have tried to keep it somewhat sheltered, but it rained three times just today, after a good shower last night. I have purchased several trees from this vendor, and have no complaints about the product, it is always packaged well and very healthy. But the pots are very large and deep for the material and the soil, at least in this humidity, is very water retentive. I wouldn't risk repotting in it's current condition and know they prefer fall repotting. I suspect it is the ridiculous rain we've been having, but would appreciate any other thoughts on the constant leave drop.
