Long periods of hot, dry weather can be difficult for trees, particularly young trees that are still establishing. One of the most noticeable signs of heat and drought stress is leaf scorch.

☀️Looking after your trees during a heatwave🌳

The hot weather doesn't just affect us, it affects our trees too.

Young and newly planted trees are the most vulnerable during long dry spells. Giving them a deep watering once or twice a week is much more effective than watering little and often, as it encourages stronger root growth. A layer of mulch around the base of the tree can also help keep moisture in the soil, just be sure to leave a gap around the trunk.

It's also best to avoid unnecessary pruning during a heatwave. Trees rely on their canopy to provide shade and reduce water loss, so removing healthy foliage can add extra stress.

Healthy trees don't just survive the heat, they help us cope with it too. A mature tree can make the area beneath it up to 25°C cooler than nearby hard surfaces through shade and natural cooling, making gardens more comfortable while also benefiting wildlife and improving air quality.

If you're unsure how your trees are coping with the hot weather, we're always happy to offer advice!
