If your trees have been looking off this spring, there's a reason: Georgia is in the grip of one of the most significant droughts in recent memory.
According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor data, 100% of Georgia is currently in drought, with more than 80% of the state in severe drought or worse. At those levels, trees aren't just stressed, they're losing the ability to defend against pests and disease, dropping leaves early, and in some cases suffering damage to their root systems that won't show up above ground until it's too late.
The tricky part is that drought damage is often invisible from the street. A tree can look structurally sound while its roots are failing. By the time you notice wilting, bark cracks, or thinning canopies, the tree may already be in serious trouble.
