Dying Privet
I have a stretch of about 6 feet of dead privet in my back garden.
It seems to be spreading. Should I dig out and plant new Privet and if so does anyone know where I can get mature privet of about 5 feet high? Please help. tiger. |

ISTR that privet is very susceptible to honey fungus, which will work its way along a hedge, much as you describe. Look for black bootlace type things in the soil around the roots of the dead plants. Don't know the cure, but IIRC it's not nice to have and not easy to get rid of. Do a search on Google for honey fungus. If it is HF, don't try planting new bushes there until the soil is well and truly sterilised, as they'll just keel over straight away. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

Could be just that the ground has got too dry and it is stress, I've noticed a whole load of trees and shrubs turning brown and losing leaves in the last week or so. Just scratch the bark, if it is green underneath then it will probably recover next year, or even if we get a .load of rain soon. I've had to take to watering my new pyracanthas due to the dry weather. Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |
