Are your evergreens turning brown? If SO, it was probably caused by drought conditions of the past several years. Or SO believes S. B. Fenne, extention plant pathologist at Virginia Tech. "A contributing factor could be that fertilizer applied under dry conditions has injured the roots," says the pathologist.
The conditions can often be corrected by frequent watering if the growing points have not been killed, Mr. Fenne says. He explains that old needles or leaves on evergreens will often turn yellow and brown and fall off as part of the normal aging process. "This is not because of disease or drought," says he. "Leaf life of evergreens, depending on the and environmental conditions, ranges from one to six years.
New needles or leaves are produced each year, and the old inside ones die and fall."
