Columnar Fir Tree

[Jamjar74]

My fir tree is about two years old. Although it seemed to do well at first after about 6 months it started getting browner and browner. It has been carefully tended with the appropriate fertilizer etc. but is progressively getting more sparse. I have rubbed off the brown dead needles. Can anyone recommend anything to get it up and going again. I have two small Leylandi planted nearby and they are doing fine(4 months old).

Sorry, it sounds like windburn to me,I lost a fir tree that way,I just hope it proves me wrong.

Some fir trees 'look' ok but are slowly dieing as yours seems to be. If your purchased from a reputable source you could try contacting them although you should have done this after four to six months. Sounds as if it is a gonner now I am afraid.
