I have a wisteria growing in the corner of my garden, that's been doing well for about 8 years but is now dying. I had a forsythia growing in the same place that just died as well. Help please would it be some thing in the soil Other shade loving plants and ferns do well.

Sounds as though there's a problem down below - too dry? Is it up against a wall, where there are footings? If so, it's possible that it has reached the largest size possible for the site and has outgrown the space. Without seeing it I can't suggest anything else, but I suggest removing a lot of the top growth and giving it a soaking and a feed.

Hi Hortum-cretae,
Many thanks for that, it is against a wall that is the boundary with a pavement on the other side. I have trimmed the top growth right back . It is watered regularly and I have given it a feed of slow release fertiliser. I would hate to lose it as it gives me some privacy.
regards Bridget
