Non-Chemical Management
- Additional irrigation may be needed during periods of summer drought.
- Alleviate root disturbance from construction damage or other factors.
- Correct poor planting practices when feasible. If affected plants were planted too deeply, it may be possible to replant them during the dormant season if they are not too large.
- Improve drainage if the planting site has constantly wet soil. Construct a French drain or grade the soil to divert water away from the planting site. Replant the affected specimen onto a berm or raised bed, or transplant to a site with better drainage.
