Salt and Plant Stress
Salt spray can cause damage to evergreen foliage. Any amount of salt changes soil pH. Even if there is no visible damage, high salts can harm roots and stress plants. Too much salt can even kill a plant. Plant stress often leads to increased insect and disease damage during the growing season.
