My Lacebark went from lush to brown in 48 hours over the 4th of July weekend. Dr. talks about cotton root rot. How can I tell if that's the problem? If the tree is a goner, I'd like to replace with a Maple or Pitachio this fall?
have pics but can't seem to attache them.

Mine did that two years in a row about 5 years ago. While it was new in the ground, it seemed ver susceptable to drying out and heat shock. I made sure it got some extra magnesium and sulfer plus a tad more water after that and all the years since it has been fine.
If yours is not new (had been there a number of years) then I'd attempt sick tree treatment, the whole thing- listed at top of this forum and watch it next year, pehaps giving it a tad more water on a slow soak next year. If it dies, or this continues, then a Shantung, Caddo or Trident would be a nice Maple to replace it with. |
