Q&A - My Leyland Cypress Is Dying

Question:
My leyland cypress is dying. What is the problem?

Answer:
Chris helps explain the unexpected demise of a leyland cypress. Seiridium Canker is the most common culprit for the decline in this  tree and being a fungal infection it can be difficult to stop once it sets in. Once the cankers themselves are visible the infections has most likely already spread to the vascular system of the tree. Cutting the visible sores out once spotted may help combat the infection. Ensuring the correct amount of irrigation in your lawn is vital to helping prevent fungal growth in your plants as is having variety in the species you grow.
