During the summer months, heat and dry conditions can stress trees out!
Repeated heat or dry spells can put some trees past their ability to survive. Mature, well-established trees can survive most of these stresses since they have large reserves of food and water, but trees already stressed due to disease, insects, construction damage or previous bad weather can compromise it's ability to tolerate summer extremes.
Consider watering your trees when extreme heat or dry conditions prevail for longer than usual for your region. If you recently planted trees then you MUST water these trees since they have not developed the root structure to tolerate a wide range of conditions.
How often? For new trees--planted in the last year, everyday til the weather breaks and returns to normal. Then perhaps a long deep watering once a week. Larger trees can take one good long soaking once a week or two weeks to minimize long term damage.
If your area is on water restriction, choose your most vulnerable plants and keep the youngest newest ones watered everyday. Deep long watering is best, but of course, do what you can during restricted water use. Even a short watering for a large tree can help mitigate stresses; Just choose to water in the evening or early morning before the heat of the day evaporates it away!
