Q.Dead Trees

Anonymous added on August 24, 2011 | Answered

I planted several large (8-10 ft. ) evergreen trees this June. They were being watered via drip hose around the base of the trees on a consistent basis. Even so, due to record heat, many of them turned brown and lost all their needles. How can I tell if they are completely dead or if they have a chance to come back?

You can sometimes gently scrape the bark and if you see green underneath, it is still alive. If it's brittle and brown, then it's dead.
