Dry trees are a common problem that gardeners and landscapers face. When encountering a similar situation, it is crucial to understand the specific circumstances that have caused the dryness of the branches and leaves.


We have put together several possible reasons for the dryness of trees that will help you analyze and eliminate them. One of the possible causes of dryness is a poor root system. This cause generally occurs in trees that have been transplanted for less than a year.


Occasionally, it also happens in trees planted for many years and has a high planting density, which can cause the root system to cross. When a poor root system causes the tree to weaken, the leaves will dry out and fall off one by one.


Soil-borne diseases are another possible cause of dry foliage in landscaping plants. They have a center of disease that spreads in all directions, affecting the leaves of the plant.


Root system water shortage can also cause the dryness of tree branches and leaves. This cause generally occurs when the tree is not watered on time or thoroughly.


Sometimes, when trees are newly transplanted and are not watered, or the summer is particularly hot, the plant's root system does not have enough water to replenish the water, causing the branches and leaves to dry out.


However, when the green plant is not watered thoroughly, it generally causes only a few leaves to dry and fall off, followed by small branches. When the summer is particularly hot and lacks water, the leaves on the tree may suddenly dry up within a day or two, and this cause of dryness can directly affect the branch trunk.


Root rot is another possible cause of the dryness of tree branches and leaves. This cause generally occurs in newly transplanted trees or the trees that are frequently watered. Newly transplanted trees will have many wounds on the root system, making them susceptible to disease infestation, leading to root rot.


Trees that are watered frequently will have too much water in the soil near the root system, reducing the oxygen content in the inter-root environment, affecting the respiration of the plant roots, causing anaerobic respiration, and producing alcohol and decay.


To take care of a dying plant, stop applying water and fertilizer to the plant immediately. If a plant is dying, it is usually due to a root problem. You need to take the plant out of the pot and check if there are any signs of rotten roots.


If there are rotten roots, remove rotten parts and apply a fungicide. Prepare a new potting soil and plant the dying plant in it properly. If the plant is dying due to pests or diseases, cut off the affected leaves and destroy them.


It is essential to understand the specific circumstances that have caused the dryness of the branches and leaves of a plant to take appropriate measures to solve the problem.


With proper care and attention, your plants will thrive and look healthy.
