Poorly honeysuckle

My six year old honeysuckle has developed  a whole area of dried out dead leaves in the centre of the plant.  It has been happy since I planted it, so any advice on how to remedy this would be much appreciated.  Thank you.image

    Could you post a photo of the whole plant and another of the damaged area Grace - It'll help us come up with suggestions

    I've got one that's gone a bit crispy like yours.  I put it down to the recent hot, dry spell we've had, and I haven't been watering it enough.

    I've given it a good pruning of the dead bits, a good soak and mulch, and fingers crossed it'll bounce back.

    Hello Pete8, yesterday a neighbour said to cut out the dead parts so that it would not spread across the whole shrub, so that is what I did.  Was also suggested that I need to water it more frequently, so that is what I am doing.  Thank you for replying though.image

    Kitty 2, am doing just as you have done, so hopefully we will both have beautiful honeysuckle next year. Thanks for replying. image
