AW: I "won" the diagnostic contest at conference
Right now I'm at the annual conference (FL Arborists). This afternoon I attended a session about diagnosing problems, and the speakers showed us slides and asked us to diagnose what we were looking at. I guessed correctly on most slides, more than anyone else (a lot of people don't play and refuse to guess). Patting myself on the back.

I didn't recognized salt damage, probably because I don't live in a coastal area and never see it.
I love the Florida chapter. These people are the BEST. Virginia arborists are just NO fun.

VICTORY!
That must have been a nice moment.
I'm glad you explained about the salt damage because I didn't have a clue how that could happen. My best guess was road salt and a median strip gone awry.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
The shrubs in the slide were kind of crushed to one side and brownish. Turns out they had been near the shoreline and there were three hurricanes that year, so it was storm surge that crushed them, and prolonged submersion in salt water that killed the roots.
