Try fertilizing the tree with straight nitrogen (such as 21-0-0 or ammonium sulfate) to push new growth and stop the trees from developing yellow leaves from green.<br /> A second thing to try is controlling salt (or salinity) of the soil.

I went on vacation and when I came back saw that my gardener has cut all of the lower limbs of my tree!!

Will those lower branches grow back!??!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
