    I think I have a problem with my laurel hedge which is only about 3 years old.It has turned yellow on most of the top part of the bushes and the flowers which were on them are now green berries!
    I had a laurel hedge in my last house and did not see this problem.
    P.S I have started feeding the laurel's with miracle grow to see if it help's.
    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Can you post a photo?

    It can't be too bad if it is healthy enough to be producing fruit.

    A cold spring (I know, I was there) often results in poor nutrient mobilization into developing tissues. I wouldn't be worried unless new growth remains yellow throughout the rest of the growing season.
