Under-watering or over-watering can cause Spirea to have a lot of dead branches.ÊWater can fail to penetrate deep into the soil Êor it can penetrate excessively;driving out oxygen.Ê
In order to tell if a Spirea shrub is dead, the branches must be thoroughly looked at. If they are brown, brittle, and fall right out when touched, then the bush is probably dead.
To effectively prune overgrown spirea, start by removing dead or damaged branches. Then, selectively trim back long or unruly branches to promote new growth. Cut at a 45-degree angle just above a healthy bud. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time to maintain its shape and health.

No, a tree is not necessarily dead if only some branches bloom. This can happen due to various factors such as pruning, disease, or stress.

The lower branches of your spruce tree may be dead due to lack of sunlight reaching them. As the tree grows taller, the upper branches block sunlight from reaching the lower branches, causing them to die off. This is a natural process known as self-pruning.
