Sunburn? is an abiotic disorder — a non-living, environmental cause of plant damage — commonly encountered in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Abiotic Disorders Library.

Unlike diseases caused by fungi or bacteria, abiotic disorders cannot be treated with pesticides. Correct diagnosis is essential — our UT Certified horticulturist can evaluate your lawn or landscape and recommend the right corrective action.
