I have several japanese holly that are established (4 years) They have been doing beautifully until this past winter. All the leaves on a particular branch will turn brown then fall off. This has happened to several branches at a time. Any ideas!!!
dying japanese holly
A photo, perhaps?
Here is a picture, the damage is more extensive on mine!!!
Have you noticed any webbing? It could be spider mites.
No webbing and last night I shook the bushes over a sheet of white paper, and nothing but leaves fell. There are some small-leaved evergreens in the area (Eastern Shore of VA) that seem to have the same problem, if that's any help.
Maybe a bit of winter burn? I know many areas of the country have had weird weather this year so even if they'd normally be totally fine through your winter, a sudden cold snap could do damage like that.
Could be winter burn, although a few folks I have been talking to about this have had the same trouble since last summer. I may have to check the county extension service and see if they have had similar queries. Thanks for the replies.
A good idea. Keep us posted.
