Fir Trees

[XxHeatherxX]

I have this fir tree in my garden and last month its leaves started to turn brown from the bottom. Now the whole tree is brown and I was just wondering if it was really dead?

Thanks. Heather xxXXxx

Hi Heather,
I'm afraid, it sounds to me like its dieing, there are 2 or 3 coniffer species that are decidous that may looeely be described as firs, but this would be far too early in the year for them to turn brown anyway.

I imagine it may be suffering from drought, and if its brown all over now then I guess its past reviving.
All the Best. T bird+

Well it's mostly brown but i can still see some green. Thanks for the advice! If I had known it needed water before I wouldn't have let it get like that, buit thanks anyway!!!!! I have dosed the bottom of the tree in water so hopefully it should help :|
