HOW Do You REVIVE A Brown Arborvitae? (You Can Recover These) SAVE MONEY!!

Показать описание

6 months later and these browned arborvitae have survived the winter. There is still more maintenance to be done, but the first thing is suppressing the browning. Give yourself a challenge and SAVE SOME MONEY.

*(This video is a follow up to the original video that I shot when I purchased these trees from Lowes late, last fall.)

I moved a 2 year old Arborvitae from one spot to another last July. It wasn't in the best shape because it was on the north side and didn't really get much sun. The new location is now on the south side with full sun. I kept it watered and it seemed to be doing ok. We get fairly cold winters so I was unsure if it would make it. It now (in May as I write this... the following year) doesn't seem to be doing very well as all the leaves are brown and brittle. I have been giving it lots of water but I'm pretty sure it's not going to recover. The transplant and the cold winter done did it in I'm thinking. Will keep watering it and see if any new growth comes up. Right now it looks like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. In hindsight I think I should have wrapped it for the winter.

Around here those arborvitae are deer food the first winter. I switched to dwarf Alberta spruce and they do very well.

I have winter damage and need to know how likely it will recover but first I need to cut back the dead. Do I cut back all the way to the trunk. Will new branches form. Right now they almost look like topiaries with the lower half dead? Thank you.

The branches below the top will rarely grow in full again but when it’s young like these, the existing branches might fill in those spots. You want to check for spider mites. Many arborvitaes stressed at Lowes and Home Depot have spider mite infestations. Look for browning and fine webbing. Like spiders web almost. When it comes to fertilizer…. You don’t have to stress over the brand. It’s all marketing. It’s better for the soil to use an organic fertilizer but you can really use any higher nitrogen fertilizer. Use sparingly, generally ever greens do not want a ton of fertilizer all at once.

Hi great and informative video! I was hoping you provide some advice. My townhome has a large old growth arborvitae tree. One the front side I have browning as well as some branches that are bare. It is about 24 x 24-inch patch. The side towards the wall I trimmed down to control animals from getting up onto my roof but as those branches didn't have much space to grow, the trim took it back a few inches from the stump. I have two questions: Is it possible to revive the front of the tree where there is no green remaining? Also, will the side facing the wall grow back or is it done now? Thank you!

Unfortunately I totally killed one this summer. :( For the last five years it got trickle watering due to a leaking piple, (whch got repaired last winter.) I'm in Arizona and we had a brutal summer, so I put the hose on trickle to water it once a week. On the second week I went to do errands and it got the trickle water for about 3 more hours than I wanted. Within a week, she was a goner. Her brown over took her and then her branches splayed outwards. Sigh. I'm going to wait for the heat to diminish a little so I can put a tarp underneath to catch all those crunchy little needles/leaves when I cut the branches off. She was a tower, now she looks like a blown down umbrella. There is one more not to far from here that I didn't really water because the roots go into my crawlspace and this one is also splaying open but is still green.

Questions... if you cut the branches off will the plant grow them back? Also, I planted 6 of these and now the centers are browning out and one the exact same browning at the bottom of the plant. I have been told that this is normal shedding and I want to believe it to be true though my OCD is eating at me telling me to pull them and plant new ones.

Guys I’m going nuts which is the best fertilizer for Emerald Greens, Holly-Tone Or Plant-Tone?

I have an arborvitae that appears to be dying slowly. The color is kind of a pale green. I'm not sure what to do. I've watered it and put down some compost. My other arborvitaes are thriving.

Hi just wanted your opinion on my tree issue. So I planted 14 Arborvitae’s two years ago and they were doing OK. They were not the best trees when I bought them and they do not have a main beam as It seems most arborvitae do. Instead they have a bunch of smaller branches and they actually remind me more of a shrub than a tree if that makes sense. Long story short heavy snow this winter crushed them like a pancake. I went outside and helped them out the best I could. They are now standing upright, but they have lost 75% of their needles. Should I give up on them or give them one season to see if they come back? Getting a little frustrated at this point.

What about thinning on the bottoms? Mines full everywhere but looks like someone kick a soccor ball at the base of it

I have a question we planted 12 of these and we went to another country for a year and we came back and most of them are dead and they are all color brown what should I do cut the branches and water them alot or restart ?
