I believe salt damage to trees is a grand environmentalist scheme to demand that street departments change their plans to make our winter roads safe. I do not think salt damage is as bad as this article reports. Do you agree?

ny state uses lotsa salt and as a result the cedars that poeple plant next to roadsided die off quickly when young. pretty sure its the salt because i dont notice anything else on or around the trees. they look as if they are just drying up. the same cedars planted off the road a ways seem to do just fine.
