Thanks for the advice. I took some pictures of the trees yesterday, but my computer was acting up and I wasn't able to upload them; I will try again today.
After taking a closer look at the leaves of the Sawa< i've noticed that the majority of the leaves are fine themselves, it seems the stems are slightly bent down, dropping the entire leaf. However, there are several leaves that have begun to curl. Also, the small seed pods have blackened/brown tips now.
As far as the Trident, I noticed that some of the leaves developed some black spots before they turned yellow and brown. I've left the trees under a large cherry tree (for dappled sunlight/shade) and am hoping the soil will dry up a bit. Then I will clip their leaves to start new growth. I also am building an awning of sorts weith 50% shade cloth.
Another question I have is, is this a good time to repot? I knowtraditionally late spring is not the ideal time, but considering the circumstances, i was thinking of trying a new soil compositon turface, granite grit, and pine bark, and hope that will allieviate any problems in the soil.
