Georgia's spring drought continues to stress Atlanta's urban forest. Trees that just broke dormancy are facing inconsistent moisture, which puts them under physiological stress exactly when they're trying to push new growth. If you're noticing yellowing leaves, wilting canopies, or slowed growth on trees that normally thrive, moisture stress might be the culprit.
This is where arborist insight makes a real difference. A Plant Health Care (PHC) assessment can identify stress patterns early and recommend intervention strategies, whether that's targeted watering, soil amendment, or mulch management. Early detection prevents long-term decline and costly removal down the road.
