Your trees are feeling the heat too 🌳☀️
High temperatures and limited rainfall can put stress on trees, especially young or recently planted ones.
During hot, dry conditions, pay attention to your tree and the moisture in the soil before reaching for the hose. Both too little and too much water can stress a tree and overwatering can contribute to tree decline.
When watering is needed, water slowly and deeply around the root zone rather than directly at the trunk. A layer of mulch can also help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Watch for signs of stress, including wilting, leaf scorch, early leaf drop or canopy dieback.
