As Birmingham temperatures climb toward summer, trees begin to show heat and drought stress in ways that are easy to misread as disease or pest damage. The visual signs to look for: leaves curling inward or along the edges, wilting that doesn't recover overnight, early leaf drop, and bark cracking on younger trees.
Heat-stressed trees are significantly more vulnerable to secondary problems, including fungal disease and wood-boring insects. Catching stress early gives you options: targeted irrigation, mulching to conserve soil moisture, and in some cases light pruning to reduce canopy demand.
