    Sick Tree Treatment, Tree Questions

    Without more information its hard to say exactly what is wrong with these trees. Italian cypress are susceptible to a variety of problems. Make sure you aren't overwatering. Italian cypress are a Mediterranean species, which need good drainage and a chance to dry out between waterings. Also check for environmental factors that might be causing death on one side of the tree only. Spider mites are a common problem on these trees. Vigorously shake some of the brown branches above a sheet of white paper. If you see tiny little specks--smaller than a pinhead--moving around on the sheet you have mites. Regardless of the problem we recommend our Sick Tree Treatment for stressed trees. It's a mix of Greensand, lava sand, and composted biosolids that improves the soil and provides the micronutrients that the tree needs to improve its health.
