Mushroom Root Rot in Evergreens Causes Dieback
When leaves and branches of cedars and other evergreens turn brown and plants die it may be due to mushroom root rot. If this rot is the trouble there is a layer of white fungous growth between the bark and the wood just below the ground line and the bark will likely be dead.
Delay Pruning Of Cold Injured Citrus And Ornamentals
After a cold spell pruning should be delayed for citrus and ornamentals until growth begins. Water frozen plants generously after temperatures rise, and apply a nitrogen rich fertilizer as new growth starts. Mulch heavily to conserve moisture, and prune with cuts that end in a vigorous side branch to promote healing. If injury is severe, wait until summer or next winter.
