I submitted this question 7/27. I have yet to see any response. Thanks, Bob Dear Master Gardner Something is killing the Arborvitae on the NE corner of my house. I raised them from cutting of the previous plants that occupied this spot and grew too large after 25 years. This set was transplanted to this location summer 2019. 2020 they recovered from the transplant well. 2021 we had a drought and I watered them with a soaker hose daily (mistake). By fall the right plant was starting to shed leaves. By Christmas 2021 it looked similar to today. The next plant was just starting to show some brown Spring 2022. This spring I switched to drip irrigation running ever 4 days. As you can see the leaf shedding is now on all of the plants to varying degrees. Looking at you website, this has characteristics of spider mite, leaf blight, and pestalotiopsis. I haven’t seen any mites or eggs. I don’t see any signs of the leaf scales opening up to show anything inside. They just go brown. Likewise, I haven’t seen any spores. What am I dealing with? Is it possible to save any of the plants now? Is this contagious for any replacement plants in this location? Thanks, Bob Whitney 2520 166th Ave NW Andover, MN <personal data hidden>
