Hi All,
I'm looking for help/advice on what to do (if there is anything I can do)
about my Griselinia hedge dying.
It was planted 3 years ago and had been doing well.
About a month ago a few leaves started wilting, turning yellow then black. Some whole stems affected others seem ok and healthy (at the moment!)
It is in dry and well draining soil, I have rarely watered it.

Reviewing the internet I’m concerned it’s root rot? A fungal infection apparently. My conditions don’t seem typical but I imagine the infection can appear anywhere even if the conditions don’t favour it (not wet)
I’ve dug down a bit and the roots look white and healthy.
I’ve cut off most of the affected areas.
Any advice/experience welcomed.
