I have a New Zealand Tea Tree, Ruby glow (leptospermum scoparium) and over the summer (southern California) I got complacent with the watering and though they are drought tolerant this summer was extra hot and my once lovely lady seems to have crisped up. About two weeks ago I cut off a good amount of her dead limbs in the hope that it would help but she has continued dying. Do I cut off more of the dead brush? All of it? What parts/where do i cut- like do I cut off whole thick branches or just the dead offshoots from the branches? Is she a lost cause? Any help is incredibly appreciated, she's one of my absolute favorite plants in my garden and I hate that I let it get to this point![]()
