Ekka-

Everything you said makes sense to me. In all honesty if this is the result of root loss what does the prognosis look like? Can this tree recover?

I would foliar spray other plants and lawn with a growth retardant, slow them down. Then a week later apply a drench of "tea" which would be tree root friendly, loaded with root growth hormones and essential elements including Silica ... natural soil conditioners and light fertilizer low in N as the tree needs stuff right now.

I did not even know such a thing existed. Will this hurt the new sod/plants? The sod has only been in for about 5 months or so. Can you recommend a product or point me in the right direction to start my own research on product/technique. I don't expect you guys to do all the work for me but if I can get a push start I would be truly greatful.
