Polygala myrtifolia - peeling bark???!!!
hi. Plant is about 1m round. Been fine in its pot for several years then just noticed yesterday when sweeping leaves it’s bark on lower part of trunk is peeling and just falls away when touched!
Leaves have gone a purple green colour too. Trimmed back some branches and they’re still green and not at all woody....
whats going on?

I was fine before the winter and all this seems to have happened during the beast from the east. We had around 4’ snowdrifts here so it was totally submerged in snow for around a week...
Will it come back to life? Or should I just bin it?
Give your shrub some some more time. You may see new growth in a few weeks once temperatures warm up consistently.
