Over-watering and leaf diseases in purple robe locust trees
Dr Curtis Swit a horticulturist from NMSU explains that rust and powdery mildew affect locust trees in wet years and when humidity remains high at night. Deep infrequent watering, soil aeration, and avoiding late evening irrigation reduce leaf diseases and conserve water. The piece notes compacted soils and caliche layers hinder deep rooting and suggests soil prep before planting, while advising morning irrigation and checking local ordinances.
