How to stop Lilly Pilly dying?

Tree.jpg

My lilly pilly tree is dying. You can see the one beside it also died. I had to chop the top of that tree off. Any idea what it could be.I'm concerned it is a grub and it's making it's way along the fence line. Need your advice please?

Re: Lilly Pilly is Dying

Hello @RRIAL 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your lilly pilly.

 

There could be a number of things that is causing your lilly pilly to wither and dry up.  It could be too much or not enough water, not enough nutrients in the soil or an insect or fungal infestation. It could also be a combination of symptoms.

 

I recommend having a quick look at this guide - How to diagnose and revive a sick lilly pilly by @Noelle

 

I suggest having a look at these discussions in regards to lilly pillies:

 

 

The discussions contain some very good recommendations on how to treat lilly pillies that are not in the best of health.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
