Diagnostics is always the toughest part of gardening because there can be so MANY reasons why a plant is declining. When I found this little gem after an exhaustive search, I was thrilled!
A white wire with flag used to identify a new planting (so you don’t mow it over) killed 2 branches of one of my lilacs. Apparently “someone” got too close to the shrub with the weed whip and wound that wire completely around 2 branches essentially choking them to death. It took about a year and a half.
