Diagnosing Inner Browning in Evergreen Shrubs

Evergreen shrubs browning from inside out. Insect, disease, or other?

General Diagnosis (No Species Given)

• Main death causes: physical damage, disease/pest, extreme temps, old age.
• Long-lived evergreens → likely insect/disease.
• "Browning from inside" common for many pests.

Detective Work

1. Check leaves: bugs, spots, residue, anything odd.
2. Check soil/base: mold, creepy-crawlies.
3. ID pest → insecticide/miticide. Mold → fungicide.
4. Trim dead branches to stop spread.

Report findings for specific treatment. Without plant ID, only general process possible.
