My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Arborvitae

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I planted 13 emerald green around 4 months ago. I live in NJ. They were balled n burlap about 5-6' tall.

Some of the branches are turning a light brown color. 75% of the tree looks good. Should I cut off the bad branches or leave it be?

I did spray Wiltproof about a week after planting. Could it be damaged from the Wiltproof? It was hardened off
