Scotch broom

Question

My 8ft, 10 year old scotch broom turned brown this winter. Trunk still has green but it looks dead. Is it dead?

Answer 1

Only time will tell if you still have a live plant.

Avoid pruning the dead material until danger of frost has past.

Then prune out the dead plant material.
