I have a very sickly ceanothus that has brown leaves (those that are
left) and is very straggly. It was pruned lightly last year and came
good but having read some of the other posts on this subject I think it
may be just too cold for it here (Aberdeenshire)

Mine also in Aberdeenshire seems to have deceased. A lot of things that
survived the last couple of years in Aberdeen city have not survived the
winter out here in the wilds of New Deer. I think the cold wind is a
major factor because a ground hugging Ceanothus has stayed green. Even
Lavatera and Hebe have died here.
