Hi
I set up a post a few days ago regarding one of a pair of Castlewellan
Gold(i
beleive that is the correct name) which has gone very brown in
patches, dispite
being looked after well. The other tree is fine. Since
posting, a friend
suggested an aphid that carries a virus may be the
cause??? Something they had
heard, and didnt have any other
information...Does any-one know anything about
this, and if there is
anything I can do to save my tree. Any help much much
appricated.
thanks
Linda

For those of you who are wondering (as i was) Castlewellan Gold
is a variety of Cupressocyparis leylandii or Leyland Cypress

Beth Chatto had that bug in her trees I seem to recall. One of her books
(the one where she converts her car park into a dry garden) has lots of info
on it and how she treated it if I recall correctly.
