Hi There!! i have one conifer that just all of a sudden went all brown then

not sure wot it is anyone have any ideas and cures! TIA

Besides nefarious neighbours armed with glyphosphate, there are a
number of possible causes:

--- a soil fungus attacking the roots

--- delayed effects of drought

--- chronic poor drainage or overwatering

--- the end of their natural lives.

--- an attack by mites or insects of some type

No one can diagnose this by remote control; you'll have to take a
harder look and see if you can figure out the cause yourself.


BTW, glyphosphate often causes yellowing of foliage before a
plant dies. Don't be too quick to blame your neighbours.
