Q: random tips on nigra arbs dying back to stem or branch on newly planted arbs

A: Quick death like that is often caused by lack of water. They need to be watered daily for the first couple of weeks. Then taper off to twice a week. It takes a year for them to become established. They should not be fertilized for a year. Good Luck, Nancy
