I have one more problem: angel trumpet tree. The same story: leaves fade and fall off... Even new tiny one. Something is eating it also, you can see it on the picture: the green (still green) leaf on the back.
It breaks my heart, because I planted it in memory of my cat after he died.
The tree was doing just fine: huge leaves, beautifl flowers, blooming non-stop... that heaven lasted for a 2 months. Then -- it stopped blooming. Faded and turned yellow. I fertilized, sprayed, put a fresh soil... Anything else I can do to save it ? Or, maybe something I SHOULD NOT do ?

In order to help you out, it would help to know which zone you are in (or at least where you are located). If you live in an area where Angel's trumpets are evergreen it may just be shedding some of its old foliage. As for the green leaf with the holes in it, that doesn't look like insect damage to me. It looks as though it was tattered due to being outside on a windy day and/or you have something nearby that's dropping fruits, twigs or needles on it.

I live in North Florida, Orange Park, on the Fleming Island. Zip code 32003
Could the damage be caused by sprinkles ?
And, yes, I live in the forest area with lots of old trees with never ending falling foliage and twigs and god knows what else.
I thought that, perhaps, the tree is getting rid of old leaves, but the new one, tiny fresh leaves turn yellow too...
