Last week I noticed a small lower branch had turned brown. Today much more of the plant has turned brown. Is it dead / dieing? What, if anything can I do to save it?
I have had ceanothus have substantial die back similar to this to the extent that on one plant there was just a small proportion of living branch left green. I just left it be for about a year before trimming off some of the smaller bits that were definitely dead and it has made a full recovery. I read they don't like hard pruning into the larger branches and I don't think that would help.
I've had one in a pot for a number of years and last spring it looked on its way out. After replacing the compost, feeding, moving it to a sunnier position and a good soak it flourished.
