Drought Injury In Trees Often Man Made
County agent Jim Foy explains drought injury arises naturally or from human activity. Leaf margins first dry and die, then tissue desiccates between veins. Natural drought stems from inadequate soil moisture. prolonged stress kills feeder roots and slows recovery. Man made drought comes from damaged roots or high soil salinity reducing water uptake. root pruning and nearby pavement can worsen symptoms. contact local agent if symptoms persist.
