Hi Chad.

No. what i've seen around the country, & got on my own conifers, (i've seen
it on various types of conifer) is foliage that's gone brown & very dry. It
crumbles when rubbed between the fingers. It's as if the plants are dying
from a lack of water. (If it is a virus, that could be interfering with the
plants water uptake mechanisms.......)

Hi all. I'm a relatively inexperienced gardener, so this might be common
knowledge, to all but me!...



What's the disease that seems to be damaging conifers throughout the UK?
Large sections of foliage dying off, looking very dry & dead. Does
anyone
know what this is, & what can be done about it?



Is this one of those diseases caused when an exotic species is imported,
bringing with it a virus, or fungus, etc that is benign to that species,
but
that other plants present here have no immunity to?



Any info/help gratefully received.



TIA, JeffK
