Monkey puzzle tree looks sick

Posted by Bespoke Lawncare on February 9, 2013 at 10:48am in Plants

A client of mine as a fantastic garden however her monkey puzzle tree is looking sick.
She says rabbits might have tried to nibble it.
All other plants and shrubs look OK in the garden.
Any tips to save or is it a goner

    Needs well drained ground and also prefers a sandy acid soil.

    +1, I've never seen them grow back from brown branches. The wet seasons we've had has done for a lot of Robinias around my area.

    Has no one commented on the fact that it seems to have had the apical bud cut? It's been topped! An entry point for pathogens?
