help - conifer hedge dying
Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:200081
My long established (and well maintained) leylandii hedge which screens my house from the road has started to develop brown dying patches. These start by the affected area becoming pale green, then the leaves seem to wilt then slowly turn brown over a period of 2-3 months. It has happened before and I am left with a completely dead and brittle area, but the surrounding growth has resisted ( the wilting bits never seem to recover) and started to grow and hide the bald patch. Anyone come across this before? it doesn't seem cold or wind related as this current wilting became noticeable late autumn, so I'm thinking fungal infection maybe? I posted some pics and more info at the following address: http://www.landshapes.btinternet.co.uk/temp/conifer.htm tnx for any advice Bob |

'Bob',
It may be helpful if you compare your symptoms with those described on this site. http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC2004.htm This site will help you identify the red spider mite, should they be the culprits. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/fletcher/pro...es/ctn029.html Regards, Emrys Davies. wrote in message ...
