Sign #1 YOU NEED DEEP WATERING:
early Fall Colors
We’ve all heard “Christmas in July” but you don’t want to see “Autumn in July” because that’s a tell tale sign your trees are witnessing drought stress.
Sign #2 YOU NEED DEEP WATERING:
Wilting canopy
At this point, the leaves will begin to droop — water simply cannot get up from the roots fast enough.
Sign #3 YOU NEED DEEP WATERING:
Dried-out Bark
Typically when the weather is hot and dry for long durations (we’re talking higher than 85 degrees), the bark on your trunks will start to splinter–spelling bad news.
Sign #4 YOU NEED DEEP WATERING:
Bronze Birch Borer Staining
This an example of an opportunistic wood-boring insect attracted to drought-stressed trees. These can be devastating once they become established.
