I put down a lot of gypsum and watered it thoroughly to make sure it seeps down into the root zone and it took less than a week to see recovery. By now, it looks like there was never a problem. I think another reason mine greened up fast was because I added it as soon as I noticed the lighter leaves and that something was wrong.

Now the first freeze is only a couple weeks away so I'll have to get some insulation material to wrap them up and hopefully save the trunks so that they can pick up where they left of growing this year.
