Unwell 'monkey puzzle tree'

[amiveson]

Hi all

 

I have a MPT (not sure exactly which species), about 2 years old, 12 inches tall, outside on patio (South facing) all year, in a pot, as on the photos.

Recently started looking a bit 'ill' with leaves turning brown especially at the tips.

Any advice appreciated - if it's not to late to save it?

they dont like it wet boys, and in that situation (wet) they are very prone to Armillarias

...and yet the 33" dbh one I felled a few years ago was at the bottom of a gentle slope on Sussex Weald clay. But it did stink of mushroom - at 105+ years old!

we have had the wettest season on record, monkies dont like it wet, and are prone to Armillarias in those waterlogged/very damp conditions, I dont say stuff just for the sake of it!

 

weald clay does not mean waterlogged, clay has massive absorption qualities, and when dry may take a very long time to become damp again if at all, often the surface cracks making the water pocket but not the same as boggy conditions, the native habitat is the clue!

 

CHILEAN PINE!
