🌳SUMMER TREE CARE TIPS🌳
Look For Signs Of Heat Stress
Heat stress is a common thing that occurs during the summer months because the weather becomes particularly hot. Heat stress is a condition that will damage your trees.

Many signs signal that your tree is affected by heat stress. Some of these signs are brown and dry leaf edges, wilting and yellow leaves, fruit or flowers dropping—watch out for immature fruit dropping, too, and leaf, twig, and branch droppage. If you catch these signs, then there’s a chance that something is wrong. You’re going to want to keep an eye on the signs of heat damage because the damage can be irreversible.

Watering proactively is the best way to reduce the risk of heat stress.

You cannot affect the temperature, but you can affect the soil moisture

Don’t Fertilize In Heat Waves
Fertilizer is almost unquestionably good for most plants, but that doesn’t mean you should use it at all times of the year. Spring and fall are the best times.

Obviously, there are many types of fertilizers, but pushing growth in the summer months is not a good idea. Further, some fertilizers can actually trap soil moisture, exacerbating the hot, dry conditions. So, hold off until the temperatures cool down.

🌳SUMMER TREE CARE TIPS🌳
Prepare for Summer Storms
During the summer, oftentimes some storms are stronger than in other months. To avoid any damage to your trees, you’re going to want to make sure that you’re prepared for the possible damage that comes during the summer months.

If you think that your trees are at risk of falling down, it is best to contact a professional who can consult you as to what the best next steps are for your trees. The best way to abate the risk of storm damage is to have your trees inspected and maintained before the storms come.

Don’t Repot When It’s Hot
There are a lot of good reasons to move plants from one pot to another, but you should always wait to repot plants until the weather is a bit cooler. Give them a little extra time to recover before attempting a move, and they will have a better chance of survival.

Transplanting trees, shrubs, and perennials is always best done in late winter or early spring. When plants are dormant and the weather is cool is the least stressful time. The summer is obviously the worst time.

Taking an indoor plant from one home to another is already a stressful time, and doing so can be actually deadly at the wrong time. Re-potting plants the right way often ends up damaging leaves, along with removing some of the roots, all of which your plant needs to stay cool and drink water during the hottest periods of summer.

🌳SUMMER TREE CARE TIPS🌳
Check Your Soil
Soil moisture is the most important thing for the health of your trees.

Check the moisture under your trees by using a trowel to dig a small-diameter hole three inches wide and 3-6 inches deep. If the soil you dig cannot be clumped in your hands, it is too dry.

As we mentioned before, start watering your trees in late spring before it's too dry. Once the soil is dry its very difficult to get the water to percolate

The Right Time To Prune
Summer is a great time to prune shrubs and ornamental trees if you like a more formal look. People often ask about the flower buds of fruit. Manage your plants for the best year-round health and appearance.

Worrying about flower buds will leave your plants gangly, overgrown, and sparse. The loss of a few flowers and fruit is negligible compared to the upside of a healthy, full, resilient plant.

During prolonged drought and heat waves, when your plants are stressed, hold off on pruning because it may do more harm than good.

🌳SUMMER TREE CARE TIPS🌳
Look Out For Disease
Disease is a signal that your trees are unhealthy. If you notice spots on the leaves, early leaf drop, or staining on the trunk, there may be a disease present. Make sure that you’re looking out for the early signs of diseases. We go over the signs of heat stress in this article, but there are other kinds of diseases that your tree can contract.

Pests can make your trees contract diseases, too, so it’s a good idea to keep pests away from your trees to avoid diseases. If you see anything on your trees that looks suspicious, a good first step is to contact your arborist for specific help. Catching things early is always the best.

Recognize Heat Stress
Heat causes plants to lose water, as already mentioned, but can also cause other issues as well. Trees under too much stress can show their fall colors earlier, along with leaves falling before they turn. Most plants that get too much sun wilt and form sunburns, off-colored sections with a dry, scratchy feel. Greenery suffering from the heat often becomes paler, while flowers and leaves may fall off.

As a gardener, you should learn to recognize these signs so you can do something. Start watering early and more; it’s the difference between people who keep plants alive and people who can’t.

🌳SUMMER TREE CARE TIPS🌳
Look for Pests
Insects are attracted to stressed trees, so if your trees are stressed, they are more likely to have insect issues. Keep an eye out for insects that feed on leaves, stems, and trunks of your trees. These insects can further weaken trees if not treated.

Humidity Helps Your Garden Grow
So how can you know when your plants have enough moisture? The top layer of dirt around a plant may look dry, but try sticking your finger about 2 inches into the soil – if that still feels dry, you need to water more. Soil that is too dry will be more difficult to water.
