We had a nursery plant 15 arborvitae trees in May 2003. We mulched them and then watered them about once a month or less or more depending on rainfall. A number of the branches turned a rusty color. Eventually 6 of the trees died. The nursery replaced them this past spring and the same thing has happened.

It’s November, is it too late in the season to fertilize Arborvitae evergreens? How would you suggest helping browning evergreens come back to health?
