Hi, I have a lilly pilly hedge vor privacy in my front yard. 2 years ago I had a gardener cut the hedge and he introduced a little green bug that has been eating all the new growth on the hedge
I have used everything on bunnings shelf without success even richgrow bug killa and now it has changed colour and groes only in spots.I have watered and sprayed with seasol,seasol gold and native fertiliser but my hedge is dying can anybody please help?
For a Syzygium to die from insect eating the foliage is most unusual. If it has changed colour and is now only growing sporadically then I'd say there is something else, perhaps less visible that is affecting your hedge. This could be a chemical imbalance in the soil or even grubs eating the roots. There are too many variables for us to diagnose this precisely as we are remote. Our best suggestion is to take photos and a sample of affected foliage to a local nursery - they will be able to then quiz you on the wide range of local environment conditions and hopefully come to a reliable conclusion.
