Hey--my Spanish broom, 3.5 yrs old (in my garden) has managed to COMPLETELY die in just 3-4 wks. No sign of herbicides applied by the neighbors' garden service & nuthin' else nearby seems to be affected. It was sooooo gorgeous this spring & now, brittle twigs. Called the nursery I bought it from & they said that the heavy spring rains are likely to blame, but since we had heavy rain last spring & it survived that, don't know... Suggestion to cut it back is being considered. Any other ideas?? I really don't want to lose this one. The nursery I bought it from will replace it if I want, but as it's now approx 9' high, it'll be a couple of years to regain lost ground. HELP!!!
