drooping leaves after repot

[hugh grant]

Hi
i repotted these privets in may/june and now as we are coming out of winter there leaves have drooped. ive never had this problem with my trees before after repotting. so i was wondering if anyone had any answers???
Could it just be shock from root work and the cold of winter?
What should i be doing to bring them back?

I am not sure Hugh but to me its looks like lack of water on a windy day ???

G'day Hugh

If it was from the repot they would most likely have shown signs earlier than this, especially with Privet. I notice the pot is small so may just be a little stressed from dryness as Ant has said. The newer small leaves look ok, so I would just remove most of the larger ones anyway and they should power on now winter weather is almost gone.

Hey Hugh,
I think Antonio has hit the nail on the head, with the recent windy weather things dry out really quickly. Being privet it should pick up soon.

it cant be from a lack of water as ive never let them dry out. They have looked like this for about 2-3 weeks which is why it has stumped me as to why they are reacting like this . 2 other privets i reoptted at the same time into the same medium with relatively the same amount of root work have not shown any signs of shock.

thanks for the input guys

I had a Syzygium do this recently and it ended up being root rot
