- 11Why is my evergreen turning brown after winter?Winter burn or pest damage often causes evergreens to turn brown and fail to recover despite extra watering and fertilizing. This leaves owners unable to determine the underlying cause or check for mites, preventing the tree from healing.
- 6Should I cut branches to straighten a leaning tree?Selective pruning can help correct a lean caused by heavy branches on one side, but a sudden shift or structural damage requires immediate attention. Trying to fix it yourself without knowing the cause risks worsening the instability or damaging nearby property.
- 2Should I save or replace a damaged tree?The choice depends on whether an established root system and its modest shade are too valuable to throw away, or if the cost and effort of derooting is justified. Because spreading local diseases are actively killing trees, homeowners often must prepare to take them down and look for a different option.
