I had a friend water it while I was away for 6 weeks. While away one of the branch layers died. The edge of another has also died. The rest of the tree, however, is in good health. I have looked carefully over the tree and cannot see any obvious bugs or fungus on it. When I moved it I did notice some dust come out of the needles - I am not sure, but it may have been white.
I've just sprayed it with some Confidor. Does anyone have any other suggestions to limit further damage?
Also, is there any chance the dead branch layer will get new growth on it? (Or must I accept it's gone and try to salvage a jin out of it?! )
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Oscar

Hi Oscar,maybe removing the wire now to have a good look for boring pests and/or where the wire is wound for ring barking or splitting as it looks pretty well wound especially where the branch meets the cascading trunk (collar).Just some ideas for you,very difficult from a pic of course.
The plant has been in the pot for 3 years. I have root pruned it annually since then. I last did so in June 2016. The roots still had plenty of room in the pot and little pruning was necessary.
Hi Oscar. You might have noticed that both Anthony and JC have a little house under their avatars. If you rest your cursor on it, it will show you where they are. Example: JC is in Port Macquarie. Mine says I'm in Fraser Coast Queensland. If you go to your profile, you can put in Sydney, and it will then show up a little house under your avatar. When someone puts their cursor up, it will show them that you are in Sydney. By doing this, it can give them the opportunity to offer you information specifically for your location. Please don't enter address, suburb, phone numbers or email addresses.

Taffy
