Magnolia

We've been away and arrived home to find the magnolia has lost a lot of its leaves. It looks as if it is being eaten by something, cannot see what.
It is a young plant - we haven't had it very long. It looks very sorry for itself. Can I save it?

If it recently planted and it is in the right soil type etc I would guess that it is lack of water.

if your leaves are being eaten with not much sign of critters, its probably vine weevils, hope this helps
