I have had this honeysuckle shrub for 3 years and just these past two weeks, all of the leaves are either pale green or whiteish yellow. Any ideas? Earlier in the year, I put Osmocote on everything and thats about it. Should I put some more intense fertilizer on it?

Has it been too dry? In this area, we had a very wet spring, then the rains turned off for over two weeks. OR, if you've had lots and lots of rain all season so far, it may have leached a lot of nutrients from the soil, and a dose of fertilizer might just do the trick. Even Osmocote will "use up" in very wet weather.

Yes we have had quite a bit of rain this summer. I will give it a blast of fertilizer and see what happens. thank you! I actually have some random mushrooms growing in my lawn and gardens. So it has been very rainy this year!
