Bottlebrush tree saga
Well, I tried everything, even tested the soil. pH and minor nutrients all good. I don't understand it - however, I did have two big ornamental grasses growing right behind the tree. I suspected, after trying everything else, the grasses were sucking the nutrients and H20 from the tree.
So . . . I pulled those grasses outta there. Still, even after watering extensively, only a small amt. of green has reappeared - at the very end of the branches.
Should I yank the tree and start over??? If I do, I'd like to plant a crepe mrytle tree. Any opinons on that tree??
All opinions welcome.
