Our beloved Limelight Hydrangea Tree unexpectedly began to show signs of stress, with vibrant green leaves turning yellow and beautiful flowerheads (panicles) browning almost overnight. In this video, I delve into the details of how I addressed this emergency. Watch as I demonstrate how I enriched the soil with essential nutrients to support the tree's recovery plus explore potential reasons for this sudden decline. I'll also guide you through an emergency pruning session, showing you exactly how I remove affected areas to promote healthy growth. A severe transformation is revealed in the before-and-after comparison, as the tree's appearance goes from looking unhealthy to a more manageable and salvageable state.
