elm die back

[tgward]

reckon it's nearly time to bin most of my chinese elms - two good seasons of growth and development - nice healthy lush plants then for no obvious reason a couple major branches on each just up and die - getting a bit sick of the re working and having no longevity - tried a few different things but I reckon it's about that time - and spend more time on some more forgiving stock - any body else have this problem.

Photos please . It’s very had to work out what’s happening with out more info . I get die back occasionally coming out of winter and I used to think it was frost damage . Now I think it is not keeping the water up to them enough during winter when they are dormant .

thanks sno - actually that does make sense - the cold weather can be worse than hot for lack of water

have removed the dead branches and repotted in larger grow pots - with the branches removed it looks like I'm going for literati style

Would also love to see some photos. I’m in SEQ and never had any die back apart from maybe the off thin branch. Maybe I’ve just been lucky
