Monty Don has upset some Gardeners\u2019 World fans today after sharing his plans to burn part of his \u201cbeautiful\u201d Longmeadow garden. The BBC star updated his 1.2 million Instagram followers on the blight issue that has had a major impact on his well-preserved box plants.<\/p>\n

The horticulturist shared a photograph of a long garden path decorated with cone-shaped boxwood features and leafy green trees. In the caption, he lamented: \u201cThese are the next go. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was taken a few years ago when the box was unblemished. Now they are ravaged with blight. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall burn most ( to kill the blight spores) but transplant some into trees we planted on a hillside a few years ago and let them grow out,\u201d he added. \u201cAs long as they remain uncut they should recover.<\/span><\/p>\n

It comes after Monty shared a picture of his ripped-out box hedges yesterday, explaining to fans that the painful sacrifice was needed for a new start. He wrote: \u201cDramatic, shocking, sad but rich with potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking to the comments section of his most recent most, fans shared their sadness over the brutal changes Monty has been forced to make at Longmeadow this winter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ozsv\u00e1th wrote: \u201cMonty, I feel so much pain, so many years of work wasted. Good luck to you, I trust that the situation will improve. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of bad things happen to plants, and after a few years you get out of the TV show, some parts of the garden start to get tired. Until then, keep your head up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s actually very sad can you not treat them?\u201d Colin asked, to which Dianne replied: \u201cYou can, but you essentially have to blast them with fungicide several times a year. <\/span><\/p>\n
