Very sick agonis - pest or disease?

We have an agonis that looks very sick during the summer. The centre looks dead (very light in colour) but seems to be bit better in winter. I cant see any bugs but dont want to loose shrub

Thank you for contacting Yates.

An easy way to check if plants are still alive is to scratch the stem. For a living tree, this should be lime green, in a dead tree it is dry and brown.

If the section is dead, best to prune off to save the remaining green sections.
