I've had an Aralia elata in my garden for around 10 years and on in a
client's garden for around 6 years.

Over the past year both have died suddenly (well actually mine is showing
signs of life low down on one of the 3 main stems) I've checked and there
is no sign of Honey fungus and Aralia is a recommended drought tolerant
plant.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I thought that Aralia was fairly frost sensitive and could get cut back by
severe frosts coupled with wet conditions. Perhaps last winter was just too
hard for them.
