Non-Chemical Management
- Choose the right plant for the location. Some plants can tolerate more sun exposure than others.
- Proper irrigation during hot weather can increase the plant's resistance to sunscald.
- Provide partial shade with other plantings or move the plant to a less-sunny location.
- Avoid planting next to south- or southwest-facing walls.
- Wrap trunks of recently transplanted trees with a white or light-color bark-wrap in the fall, especially younger trees or ones with dark bark.
