Newly Planted Arborvitae Turning Brown: Overwatering, Fertilizer, and Planting Depth Checks

Browning on new Emerald Greens often stems from over-fertilizing (Miracle-Gro soil already has nutrients) or overwatering (twice daily is excessive). Check that burlap was removed from the root ball, spacing is adequate, and trees aren't planted too deep or shallow. Hold off on liquid fertilizer; water deeply every 2–3 days. Email photos for specific diagnosis.
