    Hi Everyone

    Just back froma 2 week Holiday and i noticed that one of my conifers in my tubs has turned brown, the wierd thing is that the one next to it is looking fine and healthy. Checked to see if soil was dry and it was ok! Has anyone had this problem before?
    Many thx
    Sean

    we ve had a lot of bad weather so it may have succumbed, these things happen im afraid, it could have got dried out some time previously or maybe wind chill, or a dog lifting its leg!
