| I planted a row of $7 arbor vitaes two years ago and they had been doing really well until the heavy snow storm we had in January and they all drooped. I thought they were going to recover but every rain just sends them sideways again. Any advice as to what to do with them at this point? |

| Greenefinger, Have you ever heard people on these forums say buy a conifer with a single leader? Well, that's why. If they don't have a single leader, trunk, they can split like that in snow, sometimes they actually split and side branches fall off. I don't know what to tell you to do. I have one that has multiple leaders, but we dont' get snow here, so I am going to see if mine does that or not/ Post this on the conifer fourm, they will know what to do, short of digging them up, I hope you don't have to. Are they in the front of your home? Can people see that from the street? Sorry about that. At least they wern't expensive. |
