Question from
Bellscott
My Tamarisk appears to be dead, there is no sign of life, although on taking a cutting from one of the branches the wood underneath appears to be healthy. It is in situ northfacing and spent almost 4 months either draped in heavy snow/hard frost.
What is you advice?
Thankls & regards.
