I have two Elms (8 &10 yrs.) that in the last week have leaves turning yellow in the crown area. I recently over seeded my lawn have been using a sprinkler that runs for 15 minutes four time a day. Was wondering if this was an over watering issue. Thanks in advance!
That doesn't seem like too much water to me in the summertime. How saturated is the ground with water? Or does it dry out? (though, I wonder how it could really be a problem... American elms can grow in riverside habitats, should be able to handle wet soil)
The ground was fairly saturated but you are correct, I've seen it way worse for prolonged periods of time. I was praying it's isn't Dutch elm disease but I do not see anything similar in my area- I'm hoping to rule that out. It's odd for sure to see the leaves turning yellow and falling off this early. Appreciate you replying to my post. Cheers!
