| My poor little Purple Sandcherry, I love that thing. I've had it for years in my front garden, lovingly tended it, pruned it, fertilized it, everything short of sacrificing a goat to it. In return it's given me pretty fragrant flowers in the spring and beautiful red foliage through to Fall. *sigh*. Don't know what happened to it, no obvious signs of disease or pests, the bushes surrounding it are thriving. A fairly substantial branch broke off over the winter, but it leafed up ok and flowered well this spring. Suddenly, almost overnight, it just started sort of wilting. I was hoping to just prune back the affected branches, but it looks like the whole thing's circling the drain.
*sigh*, RIP my dear Purple Sandcherry. | |

| Maybe try sacrificing the goat to it.
Sorry, I had to. Sorry you are losing your favorite plant. | |

| I shouldn't laugh but that was funny bullet.
If the goat thing doesn't work UM, ask yorkie what you might be able to do to save it.

| Seriously? Just sprinkle it around the soil nearby?
Bullet, didn't want to get myself arrested so I'll have to sacrifice some canned ham instead. | |

| Oh sorry about your pretty plant. I have no idea what to suggest. Yorkie can you please explain the epsom salt, is it for mites or mold or...? Do you put it on the ground around it? | |

| Just sprinkle it around the tree line and a bit near the trunk,it helps to neutralize the soil | |
