Early summer in the Denver and Englewood area can bring some fast weather shifts — hot, dry stretches followed by afternoon storms — and your trees feel every bit of it. Heat stress is one of the most common tree problems this time of year, and it often looks a lot like something more serious.
Signs to watch for: leaves curling or wilting mid-afternoon, premature leaf drop, yellowing or browning at the leaf edges, and bark that looks cracked or sunscalded. These don't always mean a tree is dying, but they do mean the tree is under stress and could use some attention.
A few proactive steps now — proper watering at the root zone, a layer of mulch to retain moisture, and a professional check-in from an ISA Certified Arborist — can help your trees come through the summer in good shape rather than struggling into fall.
