Hummbird said: ok thanks for all that great info, it will help me, its just so hard not to water them when i see the leaves getting brown and falling off. oh yes i wanted to ask you do they go dormant even when they are so young ? Like i said they are only about 2- 2 1/2 months old. what about seeds that i am sprouting right now that are just coming up what do i need to do or expect them to do. Sorry for all the dumb questions but its great to get the help , me being a newbie. This is a Great Site !

yellowing, brown leaves and falling off is normal ....it tells us dormancy has either began or about to begin ..... it also means the plant is shutting down and will *only* use its own resources when needed from its caudex

just like the oak and maple trees in your area - they too go dormant when only months old ....
