Hydrangea pests?
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2009 6:36 pm
Hi -
I'm trying to figure out what's making a very old hydrangea tree in our newly acquired front lawn look like its branches are being destroyed...
It flowered beautifully late last summer and we pruned it (a relative told me to be sure to remove the "stickers" growing out of the bottom of the trunk) lightly about six weeks ago...
Please advise what may be causing the trunk to crack and split to the point that my fiancee thought there were dead limbs... I'm unconvinced that the limbs are dead but they do look like they are very old...
Thank you.
