Texas Gardening: Epsom Salts, 1 by LouC

Had Texas Urban Forestry out last year as two 50' oak trees died in a neighbors yard. Had been there for over 30 years and died literally over night. The final diagnosis was....drum roll......weed & feed fertilizer. Because of the long drought and the residents had not watered deeply the trees were already stressed and the roots had uncharacteristically come too close to the surface. Everyone was freightened that we had an epidemic of oak wilt and almost every yard in DeSoto, TX has a red oak or two. Paige,
not thinking you did the same.....just wanted others who might read this thread to be very careful with any kind of weed killer. We are 98% organic and the grass is so thick we don't have weeds.
PS
Know I'm beginning to wear everyone out with ES. Have a live oak that has been struggling to grow for 3 years.....guess what......Since fed with ES only 6 weeks ago it has already doubled it's size. Forgot to mention...Lady Banksia has been here for 3 years and this is the first time for it to bloom. See why I feel like I have stumbled into the Twilight Zone?
