Hi
I have laurels planted about 6 years ago and last year i noticed a lot of leaves yellowing and dropping, I’ve just had a look at them and there are barely any leaves left.
I will attach some photos, grateful for any advice
Thank you

If those pictures are accurate as to color, these plants need to be fertilized. Nutrient-deficient plants are succeptible plants and are inviting fungal and other attacks. The third picture shows classic leaf spot fungus. The yellow leaves show nitrogen deficiency.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
How do I treat the leaf spot fungus please?
Thank you

I would use a copper based fungicide.
But the first thing you must do is strengthen the plant or all of the fungicides in the universe will be useless. Use a good balanced NPK fertilizer.
