Garden Addicted
We had 2 bradford pears in our front yard when we moved here. The first month we lost several limbs from one from a storm, and what was left was hovering over my car. Needless to say, it became a pile of firewood.
Now the 2nd tree, the ONLY one left on the front of the property had become more and more droopy and losing leaves through out the summer. The leaves are purple and red and look burnt. My neighbors told us that the month we were closing on the house it was hit by lightening?! I'm not sure how true that is, but it is in bad shape.
Now, I'm hoping its just from the heat and its dry. I threw some plant tone around the base last week and gave it a good 5 minute water. I'm planning again on watering it today and giving it more plant tone next week with another water.
Do you think it has a chance to come back next spring, or should I just let hubby take a chain saw to this one too?! I'd really love to save it, so I'll take anymore suggestions I can get?!
