Colorado summers can be tough on trees, especially as heat builds and precipitation stays inconsistent through June and July.
Drought stress shows up in ways that are easy to miss until the problem is well advanced: leaves that curl or turn yellow earlier than normal, bark that begins to crack or peel in unusual spots, dieback at the branch tips, or a canopy that simply looks thinner than it should. Trees that were already dealing with compacted urban soils or restricted root zones feel the stress faster than their suburban counterparts.
The Front Range has seen enough dry stretches that deep watering and tree health management have become regular parts of caring for the trees in Englewood, Denver, Lakewood, and the surrounding area. If something on your property doesn't look right, our ISA Certified Arborists can take a look and tell you what's actually going on.
Are there any trees on your property showing signs of stress as the heat has ramped up this season? #Englewood #Colorado
