saving an ailing conifer


Question
please could you offer any advise
on saving a very tall conifer droping profusly and turning brown in large areas throughout the tree. Could birds constantly using the tree for nesting and roosting be a contributor? The tree is quite protected, not open to extreem winds,is about 15 years old thanking you in advance ida

Answer
it depends on what type of conifer it is. birds are probably not the problem. you need to fertilize the plant
2 x's per year w/hollytone by espoma available at your local garden center/nursery. water w/10 -15 gallons of water once a week during hot dry spells.
