My Conifer Hedge Is Turning Brown In Parts. what Can The Cause Be, and Will It Recover Its Self ?

I leave on the North Wales coast.

Answer 1

Recovery will depend on the exact conifer in question, and browning of conifers can have many causes.

Usually, overwatering will be the most common issue. This will require a fungicide to kill off the resulting infection.

Some conifers will regrow lost patches, and some will not. Recovery will depend on the exact plant in question. Either way, you will need to cut out the brown patches at the base of the branch.
