Tabibuia Tree

Question

I have planted two tabibuia trees this spring. Both of them are planted on similar spots and get the same amount of light. But one of them is not doing so good, new leaves are drying up and dying and the tree looks sad compare to the other one. What do you think could be the problem? Thank you

Answer 1

These trees are rarely bothered by insects and disease so look to a cultural or environmental issue. You may need to have a soil test from around the ailing tree to see what is amiss.
