Could anyone give me helpful information with my Pittisporium tree. I bought it last year it is 5/6ft tall, it came through the bad winter well but now looks as if it has died. Was a lovely green but now all the leaves have turned brown, it looks dead. I am very sad about it.
Thanks

Piitosporums are a bit tender bud I'd leave it a couple of months, you never know it might sprout again.

Gently scrape the bark close to the soil with your fingernail. If it shows green, it's still alive.

Thank you all. I have given it the thumb nail test, looks brown to me BUT I notice there is one branch at the bottom which is still green. I will leave it for a few months and see what happens, It just looks so sad so I will have to look the other way for a while! Thanks again.
