Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Feel free to browse the topics below to see if we've already answered a question similar to yours. If you can't find the information you need, the question submission form is located at the bottom of the page.

    Sick Tree Treatment, Tree Questions

    In general for trees that are showing signs of poor health we recommend mulching around the tree to a depth of 3"-4" at least 6' out from the tree, preferably as far as the dripline. We sell a product called Sick Tree Treatment that is extremely helpful to trees in stress or decline. You can spread this around the tree to a few feet beyond the dripline.

     

    As far as the specific condition affecting your tree, it's hard to diagnose without more information. How are the dead branches distributed in the tree? Is it the tips of all the branches, or a few major branches in one area of the tree? If you send us some pictures, both some closeups of the affected foliage and some wide shots of the whole tree crown we might be able to identify the problem.
