My big carob tree is looking very sick. I did put in some drip irrigation around it to feed the surrounding vegetation, so I suspect the roots got waterlogged. The soil around here is mostly clay. I have removed as much of the irrigation as I can, but am wondering what to do about the tree. A great many branches seem to have died out, having only dead leaves on them. Should I prune all of them back? What can I do to nurse the tree back to health?
Cheers, Shawn
PS: Any pointers would be most appreciated, my Google searches seem to return mostly Biblical references.
