Q.What to do about herbicide causing fruit tree stress
My husband has sprayed herbicide to kill weeds but it looks like it has affected all our fruit trees — most have droopy leaves. Was wondering if I should continue to water them; to dilute the herbicide and prune any distressed leaves and branches off?

Yes, that is exactly what you should do and the sooner, the better. Also give your trees superior care in the coming months and they may survive.
