Rosemary

My Rosemary bush is dying and I don't know why. A few weeks back I realised all the leaves at one side had died and I just cut out the bad bits and hoped for the best because there were no clues. (When I say ''one side' I suppose its the top really because it has always sprawled over to that side) Examining the garden now the snow has cleared I see the rest of it has gone very pale and hopeless looking. Look at the branch nodes there is some white nasty fungal thing that goes for them during cold damp UK winters. It seldomd kills the entire plant but it can cause pretty severe die back down one side. Don't rip it out until the end of the season it may regrow even if it looks totally dead for a while in the meantime. UK winters kill them if they get wet feet, wind rocking and/or aggressive frosts Can they regrow from old wood? Suppose I cut it right back almost to the trunk? I have always thought of Rosemary as a really tough plant and its only about a dozen or so years old. T. It would be tough in a Mediterranean climate. Regards, Martin Brown |

UK winters kill them if they get wet feet, wind rocking and/or aggressive frosts Thanks both of you. Since I am in North Wales where it is wet, windy and we have had some presentable frosts this winter I am obviously expecting too much of it. I have a couple of smaller rosemary plants coming on which look okay, so as long as they survive I will find something else to go where the big one is/was. T. |
