  • Hi, I have a cedar elm tree it was planted approx. 18 months ago. its aprox. 8-10ft tall with not many green leaves. the leaves are maybe 2-3 in long but i noticed the tips are brown and some of the leaves are brown. The tree was planted when i purchased my home and its planted on the northside of my home. is the brown leaves normal for a young tree ? Should i fertilize? if so, what would you recommend? i recently placed mulch around the tree. Thanks....

    Leaf browning is normal for cedar elms this time of year. They're getting ready to drop for the winter. Unless the leaves have been brown all summer it isn't anything to worry about. And I would definitely not fertilize right now. Wait until the tree is fully dormant--December or January.
