Hybrid Willow Leaves Are Turning A Dark Reddish Brown Color

Question From: NEW JERSEY
Q: my hybrid willow are 6 yrs old and were doing fine till this year some of them the leaves are turning a darkish reddish brown,are my trees going to die?

A: I don't have a crystal ball so I can't answer this question. My guess is the tree is reacting to the crazy weather we have experienced the past several months. An on site inspection from a professional, a certified arborist, would give you peace of mind. To find one in your area go to tcia.org and enter your zip code. But do keep the tree watered in time of heat and drought and be patient. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
