hinoki severely browning

12 years ago

I planted this hinoki 1 year ago. It has been turning brown ever since. The ground seems to be fine, not too wet or dry.

I am trying to save this tree but I don't think it's going to make it. So I took all the browning off 2 months ago, and put holly-tone down. No new growth so far and some parts seem to still be turning brown.

I've attached some photos of the tree.

Thanks

Hmmm. My recommendation is to re-post, on the Discussion side (instead of the gallery). I suspect you'll get more input over there. Good luck!

yep .. looks like a few of mine ... well established plants no less .. all from winter damage ...

i am not sure.. i would want to look at that in its very prime spot ... out on my 5 acres.. its another thing ...

if you have a warranty ... talk with your seller ...

make sure you talk with us.. before you plant a replacement ... as i am not sure SC had the winter i had.. so i suspect improper planting.. improper watering.... rootbound stock.. or bad stock for other reasons ...

the problem .. one of them.. with conifers.. evergreens... is that by the time they brown ... SHOW THE DAMAGE ... you arent sure when the damage actually happened ...

mine were damaged.. because i had a z4 winter.. in my usual z5 ... i highly doubt SC had a z4 event ...

if you were to get a replacement.. i am not sure i would plant it.. in the high heat of summer ... i might put it in full shade ... and hold it until it cools off in fall ... hence the suggestion to come back and ask ...

note the prior reply ... this side of the forum is rarely used ...

This was already reposted on the Discussion side Ken. You wasted a bus ride all the way here.
