Can this tree be saved?
 
http://fototime.com/2ED5483DDE44126/standard.jpg

It's losing leaves real fast and there aren't many green ones left on it. I have no idea what has caused this. Can I save it and if so, how?

Fall?

an arborist is your best bet, but...

any digging nearby in the last few years?

unusual weather patterns?

watering the lawn lightly w/o deep watering for the tree?

any neighbors used chemicals recently?

It's already dead.

its called FROST DAMAGE.........................cut anything obviously dead off of it, water a lil til it warms up and then water the hell out of it and it "should" take off again.


we suffered from major "plant-a-geddon" with these cold temps. 15F in dez mtn ,
21F at aeropuerto.


i am not an arborist/landscraper/botany major of any kind and can nor will be held responsible for any or all of homeowners actions with saws/knives/machetes/chainsaws/etc.

Do not do anything with it for another month or so. It has like Chuck said, frost damage.

Take your fingernail and scrape the bark on a couple of limbs, both big and small. If its dry and brown underneath then that part is dead, but you should find nice green material underneath on the larger bits.

That reminded me of a Ron White skit.
