Thanks for all the advices! Thank You!

Tracey- thank you, I feel like it's all a wild guess at this point. At least I'll have some interesting updates for you guys next year. Hilarious! As far as I can tell, the itohs are not as sensitive to the salt as herbaceous. I'll post some pictures tomorrow before I remove the salt damaged foliage. As for the last salt spray, I don't quite recall what happen with the salt level. I just remember plants and trees struggled for the next few years. I'll have my husband do a dirt test soon and compare the results from 4 months ago. Ill post it if I have anything interesting. Hilarious!

Mieok- thank you for the suggestion! I'll get some gypsum and add some compost after I remove the foliage. Thankfully, we walk away with no damage, just without power for a couple of days.

Karen - thank you! I feel a little bit better removing the foliage. I was a bit worried about removing them so early in the season, but no real lost as some of them are looking pretty scrawny from powdery mildew. Hilarious!
