Tennessee is in drought, and property owners in Franklin and Williamson County should know what it means for their trees.
According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor data, over 85% of Tennessee is in drought, with more than 60% experiencing at least moderate drought conditions. For trees, drought of this duration and intensity leads to weakened root systems, reduced resistance to pests and disease, and increased risk of branch failure, particularly in large, mature specimens.
Drought-stressed trees don't always show obvious symptoms right away. Root damage and internal decay can progress for months before canopy symptoms appear. Spring is the right time to assess, before summer heat and insect activity put additional strain on already-stressed trees.
