I really hope the hive mind can help me with this as I'm at my wits end. I can't find any information on line one way or the other (or it is all contradictory) and I've had similar responses from tree nurseries.
We have some newly planted this winter (June) London Plane trees (Platanus × acerifolia) on our property in Australia. We're having massive droughts in our part of the country and the dam we usually use for watering is low and it's only the start of summer. We'll be lucky to get 2 months out of it. We're thinking of pumping water from our other dam. The salinity level is 2700ppm. To give this context below 2500 is considered safe for human consumption but good drinking water is below 800.
Does anyone know if this level of salinity would kill our london planes?
Really it's a choice between kill them with drought or with salt...
