Trim the Brown Tips With Sharp Scissors or Kitchen Shears.What to Do if Your Plants’ Leaves Turn Brown.Brassicaceae (Brassica or Cabbage Family).Root diseases can often be detected by examining the collar (where the trunk goes into the ground) and some of the main roots, checking beneath the bark. This is frequently due to poor planting and aftercare lawnmower or strimmer damage girdling bark damage on the main stem from the activities of rabbits, grey squirrels, deer or voles waterlogging or root disease, most commonly honey fungus or Phytophthora root rot. When whole plants go brown, the cause is usually in the roots or trunk. Cankers or other stem and trunk damage should be pruned out, otherwise, the affected shoots will have to be removed.Some trees, such as sycamore, are affected more commonly than others. Girdling bark damage to shoots or branches from the activities of grey squirrels can also lead to dieback. Progressive wilting and browning of shoots can be caused by many diseases, including blossom wilt, apple canker, bacterial canker, coral spot, fireblight or verticillium wilt. Tracing the shoot back to the trunk can sometimes reveal cankers or other damage. Entire shoots go brownīrowning of shoots suggests that something is preventing moisture reaching the affected leaves. These are causes for the browning of whole shoots or plants, and the controls. See our advice on the link above if Phytophthora ramorum is suspected.Use raised beds to lift the roots clear of the winter watertable.Where waterlogging is a permanent problem, consider installing a drainage system.Similar leaf symptoms can sometimes be caused by certain foliar diseases, including the notifiable pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. There is often a sour smell to both the soil and roots. On larger roots the outer sheath may pull away easily, leaving the inner core. The roots, when examined, are a bluish-black and fall apart when teased apart. This is common after wet winters on heavy soils and is frequently seen on Aucuba (spotted laurel) as a problem known as aucuba blackening. The blackening of leaves, usually starting along the vein, is due to water-logging. Grow plants that are suited to coastal positions.Provide shelter from the wind by using a length of shelter fabric (available at garden centres) planting a hedge or shrubs to give protection.This can take from three months to three years, depending on the plant, site and conditions Keep young plants well watered while they establish.In coastal areas, salt-laden winds can also be especially harmful, but this is due to the effect of the salt as well as drying. The damage is usually worse on the windward side of the plant. The damage is often worse where exposure to wind dries out the leaves. This is particularly common where dry weather follows spring planting, prior to new roots developing into the surrounding soil. It may also indicate establishment failure. Young growth is particularly susceptible. Brown leaf tips or marginsīrown tips or margins often indicate drought in spring or summer. These are causes for browning across part of the leaf, and the controls.
