QuestionsProblem with Monkey Puzzle tree
Norman Houston Staff asked 16 years ago

Our tree which is well established has turned brown and appears to be dying from bottom to top ie. turning brown with a sticky syubstance oozing through the bark. A clematis that we had planted this spring to grow up it also seems to be dying ie leaves growing then dying back.I think it might be a fungus. Is this probably correct? If so, can it be treated or should I cut it down and remove it?
