[QUOTE="treeman45246, post: 371478, member: 4344"] I'd call them typical Norway flares for the most part, and by that I mean there were some issues with girdling. I wasn't fully into root collar excavation for about half these trees, as it was a few years back, but I would not suspect it was the only culprit leading to the tree's demise. That said, girdling roots could certainly have contributed. My main problem in all of this is that this pattern of decline seems to be exclusive to the Crimson King. Norways with green leaves have the same planting problems, the same number of girdling roots, but decline in a more typical pattern. [/QUOTE]
