Salt Can Destroy Roadside Plantings This is the third article in a series on caring for snow-bound plants. You’ve seen how rock salt (sodium chloride) corrodes auto mobile bodies, concrete sidewalks and asphalt driveways. Did you know it can also harm landscape plants? Deicing salt is usually refined rock salt consisting of about 98. S percent sodium chloride. 1.2 per cent calcium sulfate, 0.1 percent magnesium chloride and 0.2 per cent rock. Salt sprayed on plants from passing vehicles may harm plant parts and roots even when the ground is frozen. Salt may accu mulate in the soil by salt-laden snow plowed from streets and sidewalks onto adjacent landscape. If you’ve ever tried to shake table salt from a wet shaker, you know that salt readily absorbs water. Rock salt absorbs much of the water normally available to plant roots. Even though soil moisture is plentiful, high amounts of salt can produce a drought-like environment for plants. UHCLdimED FREIGHT (O. and LIQUIDdTIOIt SALES 7 Pc.

The chloride ions are absorbed readily by the roots and transported to the leaves. They accumulate there to toxic levels, which cause a characteris tic marginal leaf scorch. Excessive salt has the same effects on plants as drought or root injury; stunted growth, yellow foliage, premature autumn leaf coloration, death of leaf margins (scotch) and twig dieback. When a salt spray hits conifers and needled evergreen trees in winter, the foliage turns yellow or brown in early spring. If the spray is the primary source of salt depo sit, the new year’s growth will soon mask the discolored needles. But, if there is too much salt in the soil, new needles may die. If this happens several years in a row. it can kill the whole plant Salt injury often is confined to branches facing the toad. As you might expect, trees closer to the road suffer more damage than those set farther back. The usual recommendation is that plants should be located at least 30-50 feet from the edge of the road.

The actual distance that salt spray can extend to cause damage depends on the road surface material, wind direction, traffic speed, weight or size of the vehicles, slope of the land, and the dine of year. What can you do? First, don’t substitute salt for shoveling. Remove as much ice and snow as possible before sprinkling lightly with a mixture of salt and sand. Using sand or cinders instead of salt can reduce plant injury. Sec ond, use anti-skid materials like sawdust, cinders, sand or clean kitty litter. They won’t harm plants, car parts, walkways or driveways. Third, select plants that are resistant to salt injury. These include Pampas Grass, Euonymus, oleander, pyracantha and others. Fourth, select other material in conjunction with or in place of salt Calcium chloride, reported to be less toxic to plants, requires lar ger quantities to achieve the same effect However, it is gypsum, cal cium sulfate or fertilizers that are much more expensive than rock salt. Tty to avoid applying any substances after Match 1. At this time, plants emerge from dorman cy and are more vulnerable. Fifth, consider erecting screens of fencing or burlap to ward off salt sprays from roads. Don’t pile salt and snow around plants or in places where the resulting saltwa ter will drain into plants when the snow melts. In some instances, heavy water ing can help to leach salt from the soil. Aerify your lawn to reduce the salt injury. If weather permits, get out your hose and flush the area around salt-exposed roots with fresh water.
