Question
I have two evergreen bushes in the front of my house.  They have turned brown and the small needles have fallen off. I also have Azaleas there too, but they appear to be unaffected.  What can be causing the everygreens to lose their needles and what can I do to turn this around?
Thanks,
Linda in New Jersey

Answer
Linda,

I would really like to help you, but need a little more information.  Do you know what type of evergreen plants you have?  Perhaps you could describe it or take a picture.  Without having a general idea of the type of plant, it is hard to determine the problem.

Also, can you tell me a little bit about your soil and drainage around the bushes.  This may help get to the bottom of things.

Hope to hear from you.
