Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with my money tree? For weeks it’s been losing a lot of leaves (they yellow and then brown and then fall off), but it also has a ton of new growth. At first I thought it was root rot and tried to trim the roots a couple months ago but it didn’t make a huge difference.

check for pests or it could be nutrient deficiency

I’ve had Money Trees and the yellowing and then falling off seems to be a natural occurrence. My money tree was 20 years old, as long as it has new growth and otherwise looks healthy, I think it will be fine.  
The only reason I no longer have my money tree is because I moved and gave her away.
