My conifers have turned brown, what can I do to save them?



Hi All
I have a perimeter of conifers in my garden and a bamboo screen in front. Unfortunately, a couple of conifers have turned brown which look awful as they are higher than my bamboo screen. Any suggestions ???

Possible conflict of root-sysyems between the conifers and the bamboo. As-in, "fighting for underground territory"! The depth of good soil is important for conifers but bamboo ravages at all levels unless firmly controlled (by inground dividers and frequent cultivation).(I had 2 beautful pine trees about 40ft tall and one morning I found them both flattened.......the evidence was there: the roots had travelled sideways and did not support the trees vertically; they were growing on pure clay!),Helpful Reply -

Conifers are susceptible to mites,Check for signs of webbing on the trees.Use a systemic insect killer for themHelpful Reply -
