Dying

[Alice 578]

Hi there, I need help saving my lilly pillies if it's still possible. I planted them four years ago and let them grow tall because I wanted them to block out my neighbors and I loved their appearance. They were beautiful, but about three months ago, I noticed that the branches started thinning at the bottom. I cut them back to the fence line, and now they look completely dead. Do you think they can still be saved, and if so, how? I would appreciate any advice on this.

It’s mostly a matter of time. Give them a good feeding and make sure they are watered properly. Since you’re going into Summer, they should take off and fill in fairly quickly.

Welcome Alice 578.

Scratch the bark and branches slightly in various areas, if they are still alive they will show green underneath.
