Arborvitae keep dying
As always here are some issues to be addressed when caring for trees and
associates. I would have to see the trees. -- Many tree problems are associated with the following: They are Case Sensitive. Unhealthy Trees from the Nursery / Improper Planting http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT20..._planting.html Improper Mulching - http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/M/mulch.html Improper Pruning http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/tree_pruning Improper Fertilization (See A Touch of Chemistry) http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/CHEM.html Tree Farming and Related Problems http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/SOUND/ Troubles in the Rhizosphere http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/RHIZO.html Sincerely, John A. Keslick, Jr. Consulting Forester & Tree Expert www.treedictionary.com Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology. Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us that we are not the boss. "sherwindu" wrote in message ... I plant a lot of trees with good success, but I'm on my fourth Arborvitae in this same spot on the west side of my house (about half day sun). Living here 20 years I am sure there was no contamination on that spot. Just across the sidewalk is another Arborvitae that has survived for several years now. Originally there were Red Cedars growing in these places, but I pulled them out about 8 years ago when a problem with Apple Cedar Rust developed. The last tree was planted last fall and started browning out over the winter. It may be wind burn, but everything around it (grass, yew bushes, apple trees, and the other Arborvitae) are unaffected. This variety is supposed to be hearty, but I think they are susceptible to damage for their first and possibly second year after planting. Well, I am waiting for Menards to get in their trees and maybe they will honor their exchange pollicy (this current tree was a replacement). I want to stick with Arborvitae to balance off the tree on the other side of the entrance walk and don't want to spend a bundle on a 5 foot exotic evergreen. Any ideas on how to prevent another dead tree? Sherwin |
