Good afternoon!

Is it just one part of the plant that is wilting like that or the entire plant? It looks like it is something with the vascular system - maybe damage to the base of that plant or the stem? I would suggest removing that section of the plant and see if there is any damage around the root system. Has there been soil disturbance at all?

Thanks so much!

Hi Rachel, thank you for the reply, but I do not think that is the issue. The ground has not been disturbed and it is slowly dying standby stem I can remove the wilted stand, but it’s eventually taking the whole plant. Any other thoughts?

Can you send me more photos of the base of the plant? Has anything else in the area changed?

Some other ideas could be an insect, root issue or something burrowing under the plant? Are you noticing any signs of those?

Thanks!
Rachel

Hi Rachel, Here are a few more photos. You see healthy branches, and dying branches every day healthy branch starts wilting. There are no signs of bugs like I stated previously I have treated it for Aphids which I’ve never had that issue before. There are no signs of bugs on the plant or at the surface by the roots I dug slightly around to see if I see any type of grub. I think I’m going to dig it up and really see what’s at the bottom. I have nothing to lose at this point. The plant is slowly dying. I think that’s the only way I am going to really figure this out unfortunately, I will lose the plant one way or the other. Thank you for any all your help. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
