is arborvitae turning yellow mean it's dying?

1 Answer

Answer :

Because there was oil, diesel fuel and gasoline in the storm surge  your arborvitae could be coated with them and  sufficating.  It may be  not breathing properly.  Try using a garden hose attached sprayer filled with DAWN dish detergent/water mixed.  Thoroughly "LATHER"  the arborvitae so that you clean off as much oils as possible, then rinse it off just as thoroughly. This may help. At this point it may be too late, but anything you do may still save it.
