Hi all

Moved into house early last spring. Garden was overgrown so pruned
shrubs bushes etc, All are doing well this year except one bush which
is still all brown - sorry don't know its name but it is established
with quite large leaves which are still on bush . Its abou 4 ft in
height. I've scraped the trunk which seems to have sap in .
I thought that at this time all shrubs/bushes etc. should be green or
is this one something different ?
Any help as to what it might be or have caused it to suddenly die
would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Hello Jenny,
If your shrub is still making sap, I should water it well and just be
patient a bit longer. It may help to give it a half-strength feed of
general fertiliser, as the soil may be exhausted. Some shrubs take a very
long time to green up again once heavily pruned.
