Question
Conifer Is Browning
I have lots of dead branches inside my conifer tree [not sure what sort] it has upward growing branches and has green growth only on the ends of the outer branches, is it saveable.
Answer
Honestly it's really hard to say without seeing the conifer and knowing what is causing the internal growth to brown. The browning could be caused by lack of sun, disease, insects, lack of water or excess water and poor drainage. My best advice would be to remove the dead and closely investigate for the cause of the decline then try and correct the problem. If you would like more help please attach a photo. Happy Gardening!
