Non-Chemical Management
- Irrigate during dry periods. Wet the entire root zone, but do not overwater.
- Do not overfertilize.
- Avoid injury to roots and trunk.
- Soil compaction, which may be caused by heavy foot traffic or construction equipment, can prevent roots from taking up water, resulting in scorch symptoms.
- Do not plant trees against the sunny sides of buildings or pave over the roots of established trees.
