Does aspirin help trees?

Question

I have two post oak trees that don't look very healthy this spring.

My neighbor suggested I sprinkle a bunch of aspirin tablets around the drip line and water them in, and that sometimes this can help a sick tree?? Has anybody heard of this?

Answer 1

The aspirin helps you to remove your headache and this in turn helps the trees because you can think better.

Answer 2

No definatley not

Your neighbor was just kidding

and that was a figure of speech

Answer 3

Don't bother.  Won't help the trees.  Might help the maker of the aspirin if you use a sufficient number.

Submit a sample of the tree to your extension service, master gardeners or the best nursery around to find out what's going on.
