Beech Hedge Dying

My well established 20 feet high 100 long beech hedge has put on very few new leaves this year and the remaining leaves are brown and dead. I suspect a dry May, strong winds and large trees behind it may have dried it out. What do you think? Do you think it will recover please?

It, very well, could have been the large tree that is nearby.

Depending on the type of tree, it could have been allelopathic to your Beech.

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through, so I am unable to assess the damage.

What I can do in the meantime is provide some of our articles for the care of Beeches and how to prune. This will offer tips on keeping them healthy, and helping to return vigor to the hedge.
