Conifer Damage - Help needed

Hi Guys,

First time member of the forum & first post !

I'm after some help identifying some damage to my Goldcrest Conifers please & wondering if it's anything to be concerned about or if treatment is required.

They seem to be dying / browning from the top downwards, I do see traces of cobwebs so I'm wondering if this is Spider Mite and if so can anyone recommend any treatment please?

They were planted 2 years ago now and it just seems to be the odd few that are effected.

UK / North East based





Thank you in advance!

I'm thinking frost, or cold damage, did you get freezing winds in February.
Dont think the cobwebs mean much.

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your reply!

Nope no freezing temperatures but we did have about a week of constant rain shortly after followed by a 20 degree week!

I did think weather damage but I don't understand why it's only a couple and not all of them!

Thanks again!

 

Ok, sorry, I thought you was in the UK.
If you didn't get freezing north east winds in February you must have been hiding under a duvet.
