Question from
rebecca wingar
I planted a Japanese aralia 'Variegata' last year, it did well until a few months ago when I noticed that the stems were drooping a lot. When I looked at it the leaf stems and part of the main stem had turned brown and appeared to be rotten. I have cut them off. Does anyone know what this might be, and did I do the right thing by removing the 'rotten' parts?

"This site is brilliant. I'm so impressed with how quickly
new plant requests are added. And the monthly "chores list" is so helpful. I've really enjoyed planning my new border on it. Later I'm going to add my allotment. Can't wait!"
