Coniferous trees and shrubs may turn brown and yellow.
These may be natural processes that do not harm the plant.
But it can also be an indicator of health problems with a tree or shrub.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why do needles turn yellow?
These are the reasons.
- Natural. It could be that the tree is simply shedding excess needles.
- Sunburn and lack of moisture. Sunburn is dangerous in spring, so branches are sometimes covered with a special material. You can help the tree with moisture-charging watering.
- Diseases. Schutte, futariosis and rust can cause changes in the color of the needles.
- Pests. Sawflies, scale insects, pseudopods, hermes, spider mites, etc.
Each threat must be dealt with professionally. It is recommended to carefully read the recommendations of experts on this issue.
