Why Are My Conifers Dying?
I'm out in the garden most nights, and get to prune, and dig and water and
feed, so I can't think what is happening. I've read the earlier posts about dying conifers, but would like to know what I might be doing wrong. Had some conifers (spreading leylandii) put in early spring to get a garden boundary going. Most of them did pretty well; though one of them dried out by mid march and I uprooted it and put it in the shredder, replacing it with another from the garden centre (a slightly different variety, but thriving none-the-less). Recently however, another of my conifers suddenly went brown and the needles started dropping. I cut it back, fed the plant, and sprayed it in case mites had got to it, but it went downhill rapidly and within two weeks, I had to dig it up. I've trimmed it and replanted it behing one of my healthier greener leylandiis, in case something magical happens, and this time, I replaced the gap with four newer conifers. And then suddenly only two days ago, another of the conifers planted in spring has taken a nosedive. If the other two are anything to go by, I don't hold out much hope, although I intervended on Tuesday night when I noticed the first discolouration and the slight droop. Why is this happening? Is there anything that I can do to prevent healthy looking green conifers from drying out and dying within what appears to be days? |
