hi,

I have a salix flamingo tree that is in a large tub up until last week it was doing very well, but last week it started to go brown and dry. I water it regularly when the weather is dry and feed it once a fortnight. Can you help? I don't know what I've done wrong

Thankyou

    Did you have those sharp frosts about a week ago?

    yes I think we did could it have been that?

    Yes, tougher plants than Flamingo were damaged.

    my friend has one too and hers is fine she wondered if I had over watered it

    they suffer more from being under-watered. Unless you're in a very wet area you need to supplement the rain with more water. They can't take being dried out

    Can you post a photo?

    Frost would attack the youngest growth most. Drought all of it.
