Golden laylandi trees

    Hi All,

    I have approx 160 golden laylandi trees (not sure the correct spelling) which were sown 3 years ago. But last winter has badly affected approx them all and i think some of them (30) are dead.

    What is the best to feed these trees to try and revive them ??

    I used fish blood and bone meal. Also in the last few weeks I have used miracle grow liquid twice (every two weeks).

    Can anybody help me as these trees are expensive to replace and also i know very little about gardening ?

    Thanks in advance:

    I think your fighting a losing battle. If they are gone a reddish colour they are dead,i have lost 2 leylandi hedges this year approx 250 trees

    It's probably better not to feed them at all, by all means give them water if the soil seems dry but feeding may just stress them more. I would consider replacing the dead ones with something hardier (and nicer!) like beech, which you can buy bareroot from about Sept. Then as the rest of your leylandii gradually die (as I imagine they will) you can continue to replant.
