| I planted these two arborvitaes in April of this year in a 3 foot wide bed. They had plenty of water in the beginning months but started to brown when i went away for a 10 days in August. Some of the lower bare spots are due to chairs that had been next to the trees. I am worried that the back and wall and the 10 days without water caused these to brown. Some of the soil/mulch has also eroded away causing the very top of the root ball to be exposed (about 3 inches of a 2.5 foot ball so not too much.)
I have been watering each tree daily for 10 minutes on a steady drip. I am concerned that these trees are goners once the winter hits. Is there anything I can do to help them besides the daily watering? Mulch the root ball? Will the bare spots recover? Hollytone? Help! |
