Is My Camphor Tree Dying

Camphor tree is subject to verticillium wilt. Symptoms are wilting and dying of twigs, branches, center of tree, or entire tree; wood in twigs or branches shows brownish discoloration. Most susceptible after wet winters or if planted in poorly drained soil. No cure is known, though trees often outgrow the problem.

How do you take care of a camphor tree?

Camphor tree growing is best in full sun or partial shade. When caring for camphor trees, you’ll need to water them when they are first transplanted, but once they are established, they are drought tolerant. Don’t plant with the intention of transplanting in mind.

Why is my camphor tree yellow?

Growth of the trees is hampered by certain pests like aphids, mites and scales. As these pests suck out juices from the plant foliage, its leaves turn yellow and distorted. Mites are so small that they can easily be ignored. Therefore, extra care must be taken to keep a check on such organisms.
