Shrub


Question
I have some Golden Box Honeysuckle that is 3/4 years old. It has always been healthy but is now dying a branch at a time. The summer has been very hot and dry but I have watered it a lot with wash water (Gray) but has made no difference. Thanks for your help.

Answer
Andrew:
Your question is outside my area of knowledge, but I would be concerned about the type of water that you are using.  It may contain phosphates that may be reaching some level of toxicity.  I would be inclined to suggest the use of regular tap water or rain water that you collect from rain gutters.  I would expect these sources to be much improved and less likely to contain chemicals that may buildup in the soil over time and cause injury.

Regards

Steve
