How do you know if a rosemary bush is dead? My has seemed brittle and dry for a while but it is still green.?

If the leaves fall off easily it is probably dead. I think you can scratch some bark off...if you see a thin green layer under the bark you may have a chance to keep it alive. You might want to ask this question in the forum at www.bluelabelherbs.com. Their grower will certainly know the answer.

the leaves should be quite soft, i think they stay green for a while even if they re dead, sound like its dead, sorry!
Reply:Rosemary, an evergreen, is an outdoor plant. If it is brittle and dry it has probably died and just hasn't turned brown yet. Turn it out of the pot and check the roots.
