    Add two tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water, and use tank sprayer to apply the mix once a month, substituting the spray for a regular watering. Use one tablespoon per gallon of water if you apply Epsom salt spray more often than once a month.

    I would check at your local pharmacy or medical supply location for plain old Epsom salt. The scent probably won't hurt the tree, but better to be safe. Also, the plain kind should be less expensive.
