Problem with conifers
Hi, can anyone help with my problem? I have 5 ft conifers along a boundary fence, that are a year old. They have been fine but now look as though they are dieing, going brown from bottom up. I have always watered well in fact they are on an irrigation system but is it perhaps that they are getting too much water?
Any advice appreciated, thx. |

Good question. Most tree trouble tend to be in the rhizosphe An article
on such: http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/RHIZO.html Other than that here are the most common problems. -- Many tree problems are associated with the following: They are Case Sensitive. Unhealthy Trees from the Nursery / Improper Planting Was your tree planted too deep, crushed roots (woody) if any roots, improper pruning, improper mulching, over watering, etc.? 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.

What kind of conifer, and what is your location? A picture would help, but, browning on one side, or all over? What is the overstory, if any? |
